Speaking ahead of the clash, defender Lucy Potter revealed that the group are excited to show what they can do.

“We’re feeling confident,” she said. “That’s not because of the opposition but it’s about focusing ourselves and the run we are on. We’ve grown as a group massively and we’re ready for it.

“It’s a great experience playing at the Gtech. You’re always nervous leading up to it but when you’re on the pitch, you switch into football mode.

“I’m trying to instil that in the younger girls this week; accept your feelings and believe in your ability.

“It’ll be a tight game, everyone’s up for it. As long as we give it our all and can put smiles on people’s faces, that’s what it’s all about.”

Sunday's clash will be Brentford’s last at home until the end of March, with away games to Bromley, Ashford Town (Middlesex), Millwall and Sutton United to come in the next four.
