Macclesfield versus Brackley Town has been chosen as TheFA.com’s next stop on The Road to Wembley – and it is a tie the Conference North side believe they can win.
Saturday’s FA Cup tie is Brackley’s first ever in the Second Round yet, according to manager Jon Brady, his players will not be overawed by the occasion as they look to progress further in the famous old competition.
Brady’s men overcame League One Gillingham in the First Round thanks to a Glenn Walker goal in the replay at St. James Park, after an injury-time Gillingham equaliser had denied Brackley a win in the first match – and it is a result that has transformed the mindset of the squad.

Brady said: "The Gillingham games have given us real belief.
"Against higher quality opposition in the FA Cup, we've shown that if you play to the best of your ability and they have an off day, then anything can happen and it happened against Gillingham."
After narrowly missing out on promotion to the Conference Premier last year when they lost in the play-off final to Halifax, the Northamptonshire club have enjoyed an excellent start to this season with only one league defeat to their name as they challenge towards the top of the table.

And as their historic FA Cup run continues, the Brady is confident his players will take the occasion in their stride.
"In the last six months, we've had five of our biggest ever games - and the players responded each time," he said.
"We've not won them all but we're getting used to these kind of games and came through the last one [against Gillingham] really positively.
"There's excitement," Brady added, referring to the mood among the players in advance of what is arguably the biggest game in the club's 123-year history.
"It's unknown territory for us and an opportunity to stay in the spotlight.
"I had Macclesfield watched last Saturday and I have a couple of DVDs on them. We'll go through those to see how they play, what they do and what their strengths and weaknesses are."
