“Liverpool will be a young, fit and well organised team and if we can win our one-on-one battles, we will have a great chance.”
The home side will have to work hard to beat the talent of a young academy squad who are currently sitting sixth in their league.
Mossley striker Olivia Bancroft said: “Our teamwork and communication on the pitch will definitely help us out to get something from this game, we’ve had weak points in recent games so staying focused and working together will help.”

Bancroft is hoping for a cup final day: “It would me a lot to the team and it would be a great achievement for us especially because we’ve had a rocky start.”
