York City Futsal face a brutal two games in the capital on Sunday with meetings against London Helvecia and London City.

The Minstermen initially visit National Super League leaders London Helvecia for an 11.30am kick-off at the Score Centre in Leyton.

The two sides only clashed last weekend, with the visitors eventually prevailing 5-1 despite Jamie Bettson being on target during the second-half at the YorkSport Arena.

Seven hours later, York then take on managerless London City at the Olympic Park in Stratford (kick-off 6.30pm).

London City were already victorious by a 3-2 scoreline when the clubs previously encountered each other back in November. Daniel Pedras and Veselin Konov both netted for their opponents.

However, London City have lately suffered five successive defeats – including three at home – to London Helvecia, FC Salisbury United, Cambridge United, Birmingham and Tranmere Rovers.

Their most recent success was a 7-2 victory at Oxford City at the end of January.

These two games actually mark relegation-threatened York’s last on the road this season, with their remaining four at home to Tranmere, Cambridge, Oxford and former leaders Reading Escolla.
