WORCESTER City Women FC are gearing up for a potentially lucrative FA Cup match this weekend when the host Coventry Sphinx Ladies at home in the first-round proper.

Having pocketed £7,000 already from winning their second and third round qualifying ties, they now stand to take home a further £6,000 if they win on Sunday.

That sort of money can make a real difference for a club like City, so the pressure is very much on in every sense.

The game itself will be challenge for City but one they are more than capable of coming through.

Coventry play in the level below Worcester, making City favourites for the tie and given the home side's form at the minute, they should have every confidence.

Worcester sit second in the West Midlands Regional Women's Football League Premier table with five wins from seven games and have conceded just five goals in that stretch.

But Coventry boast some similarly impressive form of their own.

Sphinx sit second in Division One South with five wins from five, behind leaders Knowle Ladies but with a game in hand.

They beat Redditch Borough Ladies FC 3-1 in their third-round qualifying tie to set-up their date with Worcester City and are yet to taste defeat in any form in the 2022/23 campaign so far.

The pair go head-to-head this Sunday in the knowledge that they would go one game closer to a tie against a Women's Super League side.
