First-team manager Jamie Sherwood: "We'll be ready to compete against them in a local derby, we fully believe in the players that we have available to us.

"The squad is stretched at this time of year, we've got injuries, the game has been rescheduled outside of our fixture calendar, so we are stretched, but we believe every player that steps onto the pitch can do what we ask of them.

"We were really impressed with every single player last week, it was very cruel at the end and we were so close to taking something from the game which we deserved, and I think it will serve as motivation
