The Silkmen return to the Leasing.com Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they welcome Anstey Nomads in the Fourth Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Cup.

With a place in the First Round Proper at stake, Macclesfield will be looking to continue their FA Cup journey and take another step towards the competition’s main draw.

The Silkmen will be hoping to make home advantage count as they look to build on their recent performances and secure progression in front of the Macclesfield faithful.

Anstey Nomads will arrive in Cheshire looking to cause an upset and continue their own impressive cup journey, with both sides knowing that victory would see them just one step closer to a potential tie against Football League opposition.
