WEMBLEY winner Keith Knight believes Worcester City can go all the way in the FA Umbro Trophy.

The winger, who helped Cheltenham Town win the competition two seasons ago, hopes to have recovered from a knee injury in time to face Stalybridge Celtic in tomorrow's fourth round tie at Bower Fold (3.00).

And he says that with a little bit of luck, John Barton's side are perfectly capable of going all the way.

The 30-year-old, who helped Cheltenham to the Nationwide Conference title last season before joining City in the summer, said: "There are a lot of good teams left in the Trophy who will all fancy their chances.

"If we can get through this one and get a home draw against a relatively unknown quantity then we have a good chance because some of the better teams will get drawn against each other.

"That is what happened to us at Cheltenham -- we had a bit of luck and it snowballed from there.

"Our form is getting better by the game and you always have a chance in a knockout competition."

However, Knight will not underestimate the challenge of their Unibond League Premier Division hosts.

"They will be well up for it -- it is a cup game and they will be seeing it as a good chance of getting through.

"The onus has to be on them to come out and attack us.

"But we have a lot of players who have been in this position before. There is a good core of people in the side who will know what they are doing, and we will have the edge on them experience-wise.

"We are very confident and to win it at the first attempt will be the ideal thing. We would much rather have it done and dusted."

Knight is impressed with the way Barton has transformed City's fortunes since his arrival to replace Graham Allner in November.

"We seem to have more of a pattern to our play now. We look a lot more solid and are not giving too many goals away, plus we are scoring at the other end.

"Good results breed confidence and we don't worry about playing anybody now."

Knight is one of four City players to have appeared in the final of the Trophy.

Defender Mark Tucker and midfielder Andy Ellis -- still recovering from a broken leg -- were both Wembley winners twice with Woking, while defender Martin Weir, who is unlikely to play tomorrow because of a rib injury, was a losing finalist with Kidderminster Harriers.

Manager Barton also has a Trophy winners' medal with Kidderminster in 1987.

Should City win the tie, it will be the first time they have reached the last 16 of the Trophy since the 1981-82 season, when Nobby Clark's side lost in the quarter-finals at Northwich Victoria.

If tomorrow's game is drawn, the replay will be at St George's Lane on Monday (7.45). Otherwise, City will go to Evesham in the Worcestershire Senior Cup second round on Tuesday.
