Harriers, of the National League North, welcome higher-ranked Chester, managed by former Kidderminster favourite Marcus Bignot, in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round.

The hosts expect a boosted away following from the Cheshire club as both sides bid to reach the first round.

“We hope the crowd can help give the atmosphere we really need and get behind the lads,” said Eustace. “To be in the next round is special, and we are not thinking any further than that.”

Kidderminster are without long-term injury absentees Dan Bradley and Liam Truslove, while Tyrone Williams is being monitored. Eustace has heaped praise on his club’s academy for producing first-team talent.

Harriers lost Williams, their longest-serving player, to injury at Bradford PA last week. The defender was replaced by 20-year-old Kennedy Digie. Williams, 22, and Digie both came through the Harriers ranks.
