Eva Olid's Reds are looking to continue a perfect start to the tournament's league phase and build on Sunday's 2-1 victory at home to West Ham United, which secured our first three points of the Barclays Women's Super League season.

Kick-off at the Wolf Competitions Stadium in South Shields is at 19:00 BST on Wednesday, and our exclusive coverage is due to commence five minutes earlier.

EVA OLID'S MATCH PREVIEW

United Women's head coach conducted her pre-match press conference in the immediate aftermath of Sunday's win over West Ham.

In that media briefing, the boss suggested there will be more opportunities for her squad's young players to shine on Wednesday night.

Olid gave first senior starts to Academy graduates Mared Griffiths and Jess Simpson against Sheffield United, with Griffiths going on to net a hat-trick and Simpson opening her own account for the club, having set up two earlier strikes. Teenage defender Scarlett Hill was also awarded her first-team debut as a half-time substitute.

“It’s a good match to give more opportunities to young players because they are training really good and they deserve it,” Olid told reporters.

“You will see more young players involved in the squad on Wednesday. More than last Wednesday.”

Our Catalan coach also spoke about what she expects from Durham who, like Sheffield United, play their football in the second tier.

The North East outfit have been our opponents six times previously and, while it will be Olid's first time facing them as United boss, they are not an unfamiliar team to our head coach.

“I played them previously, in pre-season always with my former team [Hearts],” Eva explained.

“Always, they have been a physical team, so direct, creating chances with direct play. It’s difficult to defend sometimes those long balls, those runners in the space. We have to be so focused because we want to keep doing well in the cup and it’s a nice competition.”
