The city side host National North League promotion chasers Brackley Town and FA Trophy quarter-finalists Brackley Town in their semi-final tonight (PSL, 7.45pm kick-off). The other semi-final pits Kettering Town against AFC Rushden & Diamonds.

It’s unlikely Brackley will send a full first team. They beat Peterborough Northern Star 3-1 in the quarter-finals.
