PRE-MATCH VIEWS
Swansea City Women’s interim coach Chris Church: “We’ve had a lot of games in cup competition lately, but we love this competition, and we want to continue this run in it.
"We have had a few games lately against sides from outside our league, and you always know the work rate and endeavour they will put into the game to make it difficult for you and try and take your scalp.
“The games against Cwmbran and Llandudno will have definitely helped us prepare for this one on Sunday.
“This has been a squad effort to get to this point, and it will continue to be throughout the competition, we’ve got to utilise our squad to the best of our abilities.”
