Kidderminster are in good form themselves – fourth in the table with seven wins, three draws and two losses.

Ahead of the game, Eustace said: "Fylde have got a very good side.

"They have a lot of good, experienced players in the squad – they are a good team. We will be going into the game as if it were any other game though – preparing right as we always do – and I want us to be competitive.

"It's a good test for the young lads, going up against such an experienced team, and it will be good to see how they respond to that."

Harriers have had some good attendances at Aggborough this season.

"Both home and away, they have turned out in their numbers and I am really grateful."

On how the squad is looking, Eustace added: "We have got the same squad as we had at Lancaster last Saturday in the FA Cup.

"Jared Hodgkiss is still struggling and will miss out."
