I won't tempt fate says Turner

Hereford United manager Graham Turner is hopeful about making progress to the Third Round of the FA Cup but has told the Worcester News that he won't tempt fate.

"They (Port Vale) are not currently in good form and are under a bit of pressure, while we're on a decent run.

"If we can match their pace and power, we could have a good opportunity to progress into the third round.

"I won't tempt fate by thinking about getting a Premiership team, because we have to get our name in the hat first.

"They have a good forward line, but our back-three - Tamika Mkandawire, Dean Beckwith and Phil Gulliver - are in good form and don't concede too much."

Turner is hoping for a gate of around 4,500 to watch the game on Saturday.

Lee Probert is listed to be the referee.
