Halstead Town travel to play Great Yarmouth Town in the First Division Knockout Cup quarter-finals tonight.

Great Yarmouth currently lead the way in Ridgeons League division one and have a formidable record at the Wellesley.

The Bloaters have won ten and drawn one of their 11 home games but Halstead head to Norfolk on the back of an eight-match unbeaten run.

Halstead manager Jody Brown said: “We’re playing a team who are top of the league and who beat us 6-0 during our bad patch, earlier in the season.

“We will go there as obvious underdogs but we will be confident as well as cautious.

“We’re not scared of anyone in our league but at the same time, we’re not over-confident.

“We know that we can do it and the side I pick will be a side that is capable of winning the football match.”

Halstead have no fresh injury worries but could rest players ahead of their key league game against Thetford Town, this weekend.
