Jens Scheuer and Zoe Morse's West Brom press conference

Form guide

Albion will be looking for their first win under Scheuer after being knocked out of the Conti Cup last week following a goalless 90 minutes against West Ham United.

Despite a penalty shoot-out victory, with Megan Walsh making three sensational penalty saves, it wasn’t enough to secure our place in the quarter-finals as the Hammers went through.

Scheuer's first game in charge a fortnight ago ended in a 3-0 defeat against Leicester City. 

Opposition Focus

West Bromwich Albion currently compete in the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division. They currently sit tenth in the table with two wins from nine games. 

This will be the first meeting between the clubs. 

Player to watch

Mariam Mahmood has made a strong impression on the West Brom squad this season with nine goals in her last seven games, and continues to be a driving force in the front line.

The striker scored a double in their 3-2 win against Liverpool Feds to help West Brom reach the fourth round for the second successive season.
