Rovers are looking to make the third round of the FA Cup for just the third time in their history this weekend.

Standing in our way is Alvechurch - who have already shown that they are capable of beating League One sides this season, having defeated Cheltenham Town in round one.

Here's a look at this weekend's opposition...

ALL ABOUT ALVECHURCH

The lowest-ranked side remaining in the competition, Alvechurch are currently third bottom of the Southern League Premier Division Central - although they do have up to seven games in hand on some teams.

The Church finished in the play-offs last season, but were defeated by Peterborough Sports, who ended up securing promotion to the National League North.

Alvechurch have made the second round of the FA Cup before - all the way back in the 1973/74 season. They defeated King's Lynn 6-1 when they last featured in the second round - before losing to Bradford City at Valley Parade.

Two weeks later, Ian Long's side defeated Harborough Town 4-0 at Lye Meadow, before following that up with another convincing victory against Nuneaton Town.

Alvechurch reached the FA Cup first round proper for the first time since 1973 after beating Worksop Town 3-2 in the final qualifying round.

That set up a first round tie with League One side Cheltenham Town - with nearly 1,500 Alvechurch fans packing out the away end at Whaddon Road to witness a famous victory, with Danny Waldron bagging a brace in a 2-1 victory.
