AI match recap
Macclesfield bring the higher-level squad and home setting into a cup tie against an Anstey side that has earned its confidence through an impressive qualifying run. The hosts’ attacking width and ability to add quality from the bench give them the stronger route to sustained control. Anstey are dangerous enough to make the match uncomfortable, with Waghorn’s movement and their transition threat testing the spaces outside Macclesfield’s back three. Recovery is the major concern for the visitors after their midweek fixture, while Dawson’s fitness is the key late question for the hosts.
