Halifax head into the game after a dramatic, late win against Huddersfield in midweek, which secured the Eagles’ first win of their league campaign. Darcie Greene scored the winner with a brilliant 94th minute strike from outside the box. The Eagles morale is high, and will be looking to continue their winning form.
Rob Mitchell’s side will be looking to continue their run into the cup, aiming to get as far into the competition as they can.
A win against Khalsa would be valuable for the Eagles to keep their impressive form running. With two wins and a draw from their last three games, the Eagles are soaring so far this season.
Sporting Khalsa, who play in the Division One Midlands league, will be looking to cause a huge upset against Halifax, who are likely to be resting players who played midweek. They are welcomed to Liversedge on the back of a crushing 2-3 defeat to Boldmere St. Michaels, however they currently sit 3rd in the league with 6 points in 3 games.
