Wycombe Wanderers set for FA Cup first-round tie at Accrington Stanley

Wycombe Wanderers travel to Accrington Stanley for the FA Cup first round on Saturday, 7 November, with their League One form showing two wins, two draws and a loss from the last five games.

Wycombe Wanderers turn their attention to the FA Cup with a first-round tie away at Accrington Stanley this Saturday. The match at The Wham Stadium kicks off at 15:00 local time, offering a break from a League One campaign where the Chairboys currently sit 13th with 18 points from 13 games, having recorded four wins, six draws and three losses so far. Their season's tally stands at 21 goals scored and 23 conceded, giving them a goal difference of minus two.

Their recent form has been a mix of resilience and frustration. A solid 2-0 home win over Burton Albion last weekend, with goals from Jayden Wareham and Cauley Woodrow, was preceded by a 1-1 draw at AFC Wimbledon and a 2-2 stalemate with Cambridge United. That run of three unbeaten followed a heavy 4-1 defeat to Luton earlier in October, leaving the side with a record of two wins, two draws and one loss from their last five outings. Top scorer Wareham, who has six goals this season, provided the assist for Fred Onyedinma's equaliser at Wimbledon. The team's recent results sequence also includes a 2-0 victory over Notts County and a 4-1 win against Bristol Rovers earlier in October.

Cup challenge at The Wham Stadium

Accrington Stanley, competing in League Two, present a tough cup challenge. They are in decent form themselves, having won their last two away league games at Gillingham and Rotherham United before a 1-1 draw with Northampton on 31 October. Their home ground, The Wham Stadium, will host this 1/128-finals tie, a one-off contest with a place in the second round at stake.

For Wycombe, the fixture is a chance to build momentum ahead of a tough league return against table-topping Huddersfield Town on Saturday 14 November. The Chairboys are currently 10 points behind the league leaders. Managerial preparations will focus on a squad that kept a clean sheet against Burton, with the likes of Grimmer, Chris Forino-Joseph and David Wheeler providing defensive stability in recent weeks.

The team travels north aiming to progress in the competition for another season.
