Truro City carry impressive league form into their FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round tie at Sutton United this Saturday. The Tinners have won four of their last five matches across all competitions, a run that has lifted them to fourth in the National League South standings with 21 points from 11 games. They are just one point behind leaders Maidstone United, having scored 17 goals while conceding only eight this season.
Their recent results include a 3-0 home win over Birmingham City U21 last weekend and a 2-1 away victory at Braintree.
Sutton United outlook
Sutton United manager Chris Agutter said his side are positive and want to build on their midweek win with another strong performance. Agutter confirmed midfielder Charlie Carter is back in the side for the cup clash. The match revives a recent rivalry, as Truro pipped Agutter’s former club Worthing to the National League South title in 2025. Agutter acknowledged the challenge, noting Truro's strong league position and the momentum they bring from a sequence of positive results.
Truro squad and injuries
Several players remain unavailable for Truro. Defender Alex Kirk is out with a calf injury picked up at FC Halifax Town, while Toby Byron has been absent since being withdrawn at half-time against Forest Green Rovers after returning from a pre-season knock. Ronny Ruiz is also sidelined with an ACL injury. The full extent of the squad's availability can be seen on the club's injuries page.
Striker Tyler Harvey is the club's top scorer this season with five goals, having topped the division's scoring charts last term with 28 strikes. Key figures like Ryan Law, Lirak Hasani, Connor Riley-Lowe and Zac Bell remain at the Truro Sports Hub, as does forward Luke Jephcott.
The club, which became the first Cornish side to compete in the fifth tier before relegation last April, will look to continue its cup run before returning to league action. Their next National League South fixture fixtures is away to bottom-side Hampton & Richmond on 24 October, a match where they will aim to maintain their push near the top of the table.
