Looking to get back to winning ways after disappointment on the weekend, Solihull Moors welcome Manchester United Under 21s to Damson Park for a Tuesday night National League Cup clash.
The Moors were unable to stretch their winning streak in the National League to four matches on Saturday afternoon, when a Will Harris hat-trick secured maximum points for FC Halifax Town at The Shay Stadium.
On a mission to make amends at the beginning of a fresh week, Chris Millington’s side return to fortress Damson Park, where they have been victorious in each of the last four matches by an aggregate scoreline of 10-0.
Solihull’s safe passage into the knockout stages of the National League Cup is still up in the air ahead of the final fixture of Group A, with Tuesday’s hosts sitting fifth in the eight-team standings, a single points behind fellow Midlands side Tamworth in second.
Winning one and losing one in this competition so far, Manchester United Under-21s are one of the standout teams in Premier League 2 so far this season, with the young Red Devils sitting in second, one point off the very summit of the rankings.
Adding to the Mancunian confidence ahead of their trip to Damson Park, Travis Binnion’s troops have a healthy recent record against senior sides, beating both Rochdale and Notts County over the past month.
