Guiseley return to league action at Warrington

Guiseley travel to Warrington Rylands on Tuesday, three days after their FA Cup victory over Sutton United.

The Northern Premier League Premier Division match is scheduled to kick off at 7.45pm at the Quickline Logistics Arena in Warrington. Guiseley beat National League side Sutton 1-0 on Saturday to reach the second round of the Emirates FA Cup.

The win was the third time in the club’s history that Guiseley have reached the competition’s second round, and the first while playing in the Northern Premier League, according to the club. The team must now switch attention back to the league campaign.

League positions and recent form

Guiseley are four points behind league leaders Cleethorpes Town and have a game in hand. They have won four of their past five matches.

Warrington Rylands are seventh after winning their last three league games. They beat fifth-placed Gainsborough Trinity 3-1 on Saturday, in the first of two successive home matches.

The clubs have already met this season in the FA Trophy, when Guiseley won 3-1 away on 24 October. Their most recent league meeting was in January, when Warrington Rylands won 1-0 with a goal from Harrison Wood.

Squad updates

Harrison Hopper returned to the Guiseley side against Sutton after recovering from illness and played the full match. Midfielder Adam Lund was named among the substitutes but was not brought on as he continues to work towards full fitness.

Aaron Martin and Jay Rollins were absent from the FA Cup matchday squad because of injuries. With only a short break between Saturday’s match and Tuesday’s fixture, Guiseley may make changes to the side.

Warrington Rylands narrowly missed out on promotion to the National League North last season, losing to Hednesford Town in the play-off final on penalties.

Live commentary is due to be available through the Mixlr app and at guiseleyradio.mixlr.com from 7.35pm on Tuesday.
