The Gills are hoping to end a run of 9 games without a win. The sequence of the last 7 have ended L, D, L, D, L, D, L.
This is the 9th time the clubs have met in senior cups (plus another 3 in trophy/Div 3 South Cups). The Gills have won 3 and City have won 4.
The first cup meeting between the sides was in the FA Cup in 1903/4. The last 4 of those 9 meetings have come since 2006.
This will be the 60th first round FA Cup match played at home and 12 have been at home to same league opposition (Won 6, Lost 3)
The Gills have played 11 FA Cup ties since leaving the Championship, winning both the ties against same league opposition. They have also won 2 and drawn 1 against higher league opposition in those 11 ties but also lost 4, drawn 1 and won 1 against lower or non-league sides.
