Shepshed Dynamo will be hoping to cause an upset against high-flying FC Halifax Town, when the Northern Premier Division One North side visit the Dovecote on Saturday.
Halifax have yet to be beaten in the league this season and have only conceded six goals so far, but Dynamo secretary David Wheatley is hopeful that the club can overcome their underdog status and get a good result.
"There has been a lot of interest in the game from local people and it will be no disgrace if we lose, but it would be a massive bonus if we could win," said Wheatley.
"We expect to have double or treble our usual attendance and we are hopeful of having around 500-600 people at the game.
"We are in a rebuilding phase at the moment and basically had to sign an entire new team over the summer, so we have been delighted with the start we have made to the season, especially as players are coming and going all the time."
Wheatley also reserved praised for several of the club's young players; revealing that he is amazed centre-back Matt Millns has not yet been picked up by a higher level club and stated that goalkeeper Nick Jupp will be one to watch in the future.
And Dynamo will also be hopeful that leading goal scorer Luke Barlone can add to his goal tally, with Wheatley saying that the front-man is looking forward to testing himself against a top defence.
"Whatever the result we are looking forward to the clash and this is the biggest tie we have hosted for some time," he added. "We have to get everything right; even down to the meat pies."
