Big-spending Billericay can make the most of second chance

FA Cup first-round replay
BT Sport 1, 7.45pm Thursday

Big-spending Billericay were surprisingly held to a 1-1 draw at Ryman Premier rivals Leatherhead in the FA Cup first round but they can finish the job in the replay at the AGP Arena.

The Essex outfit have the strongest squad in their division and gave several of their fringe players an opportunity for Tuesday's league match at Merstham, which they won 3-0.

Leatherhead have reached this stage of the competition with the considerable help of former AFC Wimbledon striker Jack Midson (scorer of nine FA Cup goals this season) but they may end up regretting their failure to finish the job on home soil.

Recommendation
Billericay-Billericay double result
1pt 17-20 Coral
