Bridgwater are currently in fourth place in the Southern Premier League - that's the tier below the WSL Championship.
You can expect to see a serious piece of team rotation for this game. It will be the start of a tough week for the squad - we play Chelsea in the WSL Cup semifinal next Wednesday and Arsenal in the league on the Saturday. Even so, I'm expecting us to take no chances - going out of the Cup would be annoying as well as embarrassing.
Bridgwater's women's team history goes back further than ours though - they were formed in 1990 and have played under a variety of names. However they're best known as Yeovil - a club that was still in WSL1 the year that United formed its women's team. They went bankrupt when WSL1 went full-time pro and didn't just get relegated, they weren't allowed to play it the Championship either.
They survived and now have new management, new name, new ground - and will have a sellout crowd of 2500, complete with extra catering facilities and a fanzone on Sunday
