Tonight's hosts, Hashtag United, are playing third-tier football for the first time after they won the FA WNL Division One South East title last season.
The Tags started their season on the road, beating Chatham Town 3-1. They went on to end Oxford United's four-year unbeaten run at home, winning 2-1 at Marsh Lane on Sunday afternoon.

Blues manager Joe Sheehan said: "It won't be a easy game. We've come across Hashtag last season, so we know there a team who deserve to be in this division.
"It's no suprise they've started they way they have and it will be a really challenging game."
Meanwhile, defender Megan Wearing has been named in the Scotland U19s squad for their upcoming friendly double-header against Hungary.
