Salford are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Swindon in all competitions (W3 D2), already beating them 3-2 at home in League Two this season. This is the first FA Cup meeting between the sides.

Having won their first three away games against Salford City in all competitions, Swindon are now winless in their last three visits (D1 L2).

Salford City are playing in the FA Cup third round for just the second time in their history, going out at this stage 8-0 against Manchester City last season.

Swindon Town have been eliminated from 10 of their last 11 FA Cup third round ties, with the exception being a 2-1 win against Wigan Athletic in 2011-12.

Kelly N’Mai has three goals in two FA Cup appearances this season, already the most by a Salford City player in a single campaign in the competition (first round onwards).
