Match preview

Newport County are no strangers to cup success and the Exiles have an opportunity to book a trip to Wembley when they host fellow Sky Bet League Two side Salford in the EFL Trophy semi-final.

Michael Flynn's men have reached the third round of the FA Cup in four of the last five seasons, defeating Leicester and Middlesbrough before being beaten by Manchester City in the fifth round last year.

Salford, promoted to the EFL via a Wembley playoff final last year, have lost just one of their last eight matches but County are tough to beat at Rodney Parade and their knockout nous could come to the fore again.

Team news

Newport
The Exiles are sweating on the fitness of several first-team players. Otis Khan, Billy Waters and Dale Gorman are cup-tied.

Salford
Defender Ash Eastham is cup-tied but new signing James Wilson is likely to start for the Ammies.

Key stat

Newport have lost just one of their last nine home matches in all competitions.
