Players To Watch
Joe Sbarra (Solihull Moors)
Fresh off the back of his important late equaliser against Hartlepool United at the weekend, playmaker Joe Sbarra will be desperate to add to his tally and continue his excellent start to the season.
To date, Sbarra has scored five goals this season as well as picking up an assist in the process. He is a player that loves to run at the opposition and consistently looks to make thing’s happen whenever he is on the ball. Therefore, the visitors have to be at the top of their game otherwise it could be a very challenging evening.
Emmanuel Dieseruvwe (FC Halifax Town)
Despite crashing out of the FA Cup without a goal, striker Emmanuel Dieseruvwe has been in great form in the league for FC Halifax Town, and he could be the difference in helping them return to winning ways.
Dieseruvwe has scored in each of his last four National League matches and has seven league goals to his name so far this season. He is a very physical striker, who will constantly battle and prove to be a tough cookie to crack for the Solihull Moors defence. If he isn’t stopped, the away side will have an excellent opportunity of winning the game.
