The two fixtures between the sides last season produced a total of sixteen goals and plenty of entertainment, so much was expected of this tie.
With several players unavailable for various reasons Aylesbury were forced to make a few changes to the squad for this game. Juan Quintero, who has been recovering from a serious knee injury picked up at the end of last season whilst representing Mursley United in the B&B Cup final, was passed fit to make his debut for the Young Moles whilst Taf Manjengwa and Max Jones also made their first starts of the season as Dan Turney changed the tactical shape of the side.
