Harrogate are looking to kill this match off in the opening five minutes. Tom Walker forces a fine diving save from Skelmersdale goalkeeper Ben Barnes and then from the resulting corner, the hosts head narrowly wide.

We have a minute's silence for Remembrance Sunday, but also for the passing of Dave Tomlinson, who was chairman at Skelmersdale United through from the early 1990s to the early 2000s and had served as North West Counties League Chairman from 1998 to 2015 before becoming League President.

Paul Griffiths, current United Chairman said: "I had known Dave ever since my first involvement with Skelmersdale United 22 years back, a true footballing man, It is with great sadness that we hear this news.

"On behalf of Skelmersdale United I would like to pass on our condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time."

It is not often Harrogate go into an FA Cup match as the big boys.

What a year it has been for the North Yorkshire side as earlier this year they secured promotion to the English Football League for the first time in its 106-year history.

The club beat Notts County 3-1 in the National League promotion final at Wembley on 2 August, with the players enjoying a socially-distanced open open-top bus around the town to celebrate.

By becoming a Football League side, this is the first season ever where Harrogate have not had to play in any of the FA Cup qualifying rounds.

We have live radio commentary on BBC Radio Lancashire, BBC Radio Merseyside and BBC Radio York.

Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson has tweeted his support for the underdogs. Two wins and Skelmersdale could be lining up at Anfield.

And here are the highlights from that first-round match last year as the lights went out in the stadium and then on Harrogate's cup hopes.

Harrogate played in the first round of the FA Cup last season - but it didn't go all to plan on or off the field.

A power cut plunged the Envirovent Stadium into darkness with spectators holding up the lights from their mobile phones. After a 55-minute delay, the game against Portsmouth got under way with Pompey winning 2-1.
