A LUCRATIVE FA Cup home clash with Third Division Rushden & Diamonds awaits the winners of Worcester City and Belper Town's fourth qualifying round replay at St George's Lane tonight (7.45).
But City manager John Barton has warned that if his side perform as they did in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Belper then it will not be them progressing to the first round proper.
The BBC cameras will again be at the match as the two teams battle for a £20,000 prize and a place in the next round.
Veteran Ray Woods has been added to the City squad which is unchanged from the weekend, including winger Dwain McFarlane who made his full debut for the club.
"As we've said all along we were disappointed with Saturday's display and if our performance is not improved it won't be us whose looking forward to the Rushden & Diamonds tie," said Barton.
"We're very restricted by injuries and suspensions so we don't anticipate freshening things up that much.
"We're happy to have another crack at it. They had a penalty appeal which we certainly wouldn't have had any arguments about, but equally we were bemused by the decision that ruled out Phil Stant's goal."
City defender Martin Weir admitted Rushden was a great draw, but said the players were focused on tonight's replay against the struggling Unibond League Division One side that came close to ending their FA Cup dreams on Saturday.
"It's a great draw and it's at home so you can't ask any more than that, but obviously tonight is a big game for the club," he said.
"The FA Cup has a special atmosphere. I've experienced some great games and especially if you've got a good draw but obviously tonight is the most important game for us.
"The further you go the more exciting it gets and the more coverage you get and you raise your game."
Kidderminster Harriers and Hereford United have also both landed home first round ties against Darlington and Wrexham respectively.
