Macclesfield vs Brentford - Monday, 7.30pm

Macclesfield can't do it again, can they? This year's FA Cup darlings are on the hunt for another giant-killing - and they're in red-hot form.

The Silkmen stunned holders Crystal Palace on their 3G pitch early last month and haven't looked back. John Rooney, brother of Wayne, has overseen six wins from their last seven league games to power into the National League North play-off race.

They've scored a staggering 22 goals during this spell, with forward D'Mani Mellor netting seven of them and Macclesfield have continued their excellent home record, having taken 33 points from 16 games.

Brentford are humble enough and surely wise enough, under Keith Andrews, not to take them lightly. Palace rotated their team and were embarrassed by a side 117 league places below them.

There are 114 clubs between these two now but, on a Monday night in Macclesfield, that gap could feel a whole lot smaller.
