The meteoric rise of Salford City has been one of the biggest talking in non-league football over the last few years, and the Class of 92 backed-club have the perfect opportunity to make a name for themselves in the FA Cup this year as they travel to League One strugglers, Shrewsbury Town.

Last season's League One play-off finalists, Shrewsbury, have had a difficult start to the season under new manager John Askey, and this game has FA Cup upset written all over it.

Salford, managed by former Scunthorpe boss Graham Alexander, have had an excellent start to their maiden season in the National League, currently sitting top of the table having picked up 34 points from their opening 16 games.

While it has not yet been announced which games will be on TV, given the BBC's fascination with Salford, and the fact that this game has upset written all over it, there is every chance that this will be billed as one of the biggest games of the opening weekend.
