Prescot (Liverpool standard) August 22, 2026 — Litherland Remyca are scheduled to host uk/local/prescot/">Prescot Cables in an Emirates FA Cup Preliminary Round tie at Litherland Sports Park.
The fixture brings together two clubs from the English non-league system in a match with progression in the world’s oldest national football cup at stake. The FA Cup qualifying rounds are contested by clubs outside the main competition’s later stages, with each round offering the opportunity to advance, attract greater attention and potentially secure additional match revenue.
As reported by beIN SPORTS, the match is listed as “Litherland Remyca vs Prescot Cables” and is scheduled to take place at Litherland Sports Park. The broadcaster’s match page displays the date as August 22, 2026 and the fixture time as 14:00, while other football databases and the home club’s information page list a 15:00 kick-off.
The discrepancy may reflect a time-zone or fixture-data difference. The Northern Premier League’s club page also identifies the match as Litherland REMYCA against Prescot Cables on Saturday, August 22. BBC Sport lists the fixture for 15:00 on the same date.
When and where will the match be played?
The match is listed for Litherland Sports Park in Litherland, Liverpool. The club’s North West Counties Football League page gives the ground’s address as Boundary Road, Litherland, Liverpool, L21 7LA.
The same club information page lists admission prices for the 2026–27 season as £7 for adults, £4 for concessions and £2 for under-18s. Children under 12 can enter free when accompanied by an adult. A match programme is listed at £2.
Litherland Remyca states that the sports park has car parking, including disabled spaces, and that the venue is wheelchair accessible. Facilities listed by the club include a clubhouse serving hot food and drinks, toilets, baby-changing facilities, a 100-seat stand and covered standing areas.
Supporters planning to attend should confirm the kick-off time and fixture status directly with the clubs or competition organisers. The Football Association’s fixture page currently shows “Prescot Cables vs Litherland Remyca” under Tuesday, August 25, rather than the home fixture on August 22. The FA also warns that fixture dates and times can change because of television selections and replays.
What is Litherland Remyca’s recent form?
Litherland Remyca enter the fixture with a mixed but competitive sequence of results.
According to the club information published by the North West Counties Football League, Remyca drew 1–1 away to Ramsbottom United on August 1. They then lost 2–0 at home to Charnock Richard on August 5 before responding with a 2–1 home victory against the same opponent on August 8.
The club’s recent results also include a 4–1 away win over Maine Road on August 15 in the Isuzu FA Vase first qualifying round. Cameron Taylor scored twice in that match, while Dilon O’Callaghan and Konstantinos Misios were also recorded among the goalscorers.
Litherland Remyca’s most recent listed result before the FA Cup tie was a 1–1 draw away to Burscough on August 18. Finlay Quayle scored from the penalty spot in that match.
The sequence gives Litherland two wins, two draws and one defeat across the five recent matches listed by the club. The side scored eight goals and conceded six during that run. The club’s page records Ste Scott as manager.
The available squad statistics identify Dilon O’Callaghan as Litherland Remyca’s leading listed scorer with two goals. Cameron Taylor also has two goals, while Mark Madden, Konstantinos Misios, Finlay Quayle and Dylan Westerside are each listed with one.
Those figures describe the club’s recorded early-season matches, but they do not confirm which players will start against Prescot Cables. No verified starting line-up was included in the sources reviewed before the match.
What is known about Prescot Cables?
Prescot Cables are the visiting side in the scheduled Preliminary Round tie. ESPN lists the match as an English FA Cup qualifying fixture at 15:00 on Saturday, August 22.
The Football Association’s fixture listing identifies the pairing as Prescot Cables against Litherland Remyca and places it among the Preliminary Round matches. However, the FA page currently displays the game on August 25, so the official schedule contains a date inconsistency that supporters should verify.
The available public sources provide less detailed recent form information for Prescot Cables than for Litherland Remyca. ESPN’s match page records that Prescot Cables had no recent games available in the relevant listing, although it identifies the club’s FA Cup qualifying fixture against Litherland Remyca.
No confirmed team news, injury list, starting line-up or player quotation was found in the reviewed sources. It would therefore be unsafe to attribute expected selections or tactical plans to Prescot Cables without a direct statement from the club or a named journalist.
What are the available predictions?
Sports Mole’s statistical preview makes Prescot Cables the clear model favourite. It gives Prescot Cables a 70.5 per cent chance of winning, Litherland Remyca a 13.2 per cent chance and a draw a 16.3 per cent probability.
The same model identifies 0–2 as a predicted scoreline and lists a 1–0 Litherland Remyca win as the home side’s most likely individual winning score, with a probability of 3.41 per cent.
These figures are model-based probabilities rather than confirmed match outcomes. They do not establish how the game will be played, which players will be selected or whether the fixture will proceed at the listed time. They should be read as a statistical forecast, not as reporting of an event.
The contrast between the model and Litherland Remyca’s recent results provides the central pre-match narrative. Remyca have won two of their last five listed matches and scored eight goals, but Prescot Cables are rated more strongly by the available prediction model. The home advantage, cup pressure and the possibility of a closely contested non-league tie remain factors that a pre-match model may not fully capture.
Why does the match matter?
The Preliminary Round is an important stage for clubs competing outside the later rounds of the Emirates FA Cup. A victory would allow the successful team to continue its cup campaign and move closer to the rounds that attract greater national attention.
For Litherland Remyca, the match also represents a home fixture at a ground where the club has already recorded wins during the early part of the season. The side’s 2–1 victory over Charnock Richard and its 4–1 win at Maine Road show that it has been able to produce positive results in cup and league-related competition.
For Prescot Cables, an away win would end Litherland Remyca’s involvement in this FA Cup stage and strengthen the visitors’ position in a competition where one result determines progression. The available statistical preview places Prescot Cables in the stronger position, but the prediction does not replace the result recorded on the pitch.
The fixture is also relevant to local supporters because it brings two nearby non-league clubs into a competitive cup contest. Litherland Remyca’s ground information indicates a modest-capacity community venue with admission prices aimed at local supporters, including reduced rates for concessions and younger fans.
Background: What is the FA Cup Preliminary Round?
The Emirates FA Cup is organised by The Football Association and includes clubs from across the English football pyramid. The Preliminary Round is part of the qualifying section, where teams compete for places in subsequent rounds before the competition reaches the main draw involving higher-level clubs.
The FA’s official fixture page lists the Litherland Remyca and Prescot Cables pairing among Preliminary Round fixtures and notes that scheduled dates and kick-off times can change because of broadcast selections and replays.
Litherland Remyca were formed in 1959 and play at Litherland Sports Park. The North West Counties Football League lists Ste Scott as manager, Don Rimmer as chairman and Liverpool FA as the club’s county affiliation.
The club’s listed honours include several Zingari Premier League titles, Liverpool County Division Two success and the Lancashire Amateur Cup. Its listed record attendance is 1,303 for a play-off final against City of Liverpool on May 13, 2017.
Prediction: How could the result affect supporters?
For Litherland Remyca supporters, a victory would extend the club’s FA Cup journey and provide another competitive fixture after the team’s recent wins over Charnock Richard and Maine Road. It would also strengthen confidence around a side that has begun the season with two wins, two draws and one defeat in its recent listed matches.
For Prescot Cables supporters, the statistical forecast offers a positive pre-match indication, with Sports Mole giving the visitors a 70.5 per cent win probability. A win would align with that model preference and move Prescot into the next stage, while a defeat would make the prediction irrelevant once the match is decided.
The most immediate practical effect for all supporters is uncertainty over the confirmed schedule. Because beIN SPORTS, BBC Sport, ESPN and the Litherland Remyca club page list August 22 at or around 15:00, while the FA’s current fixture page shows the pairing on August 25, fans should verify the final date, time and venue before travelling.
