Albion begin their Adobe Women's FA Cup campaign on Wednesday when we entertain Championship side Durham at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre, Lancing, kick off 7pm.

The game has been switched from Crawley because of concerns about the condition of the pitch at the Broadfield Stadium. Click here for more information about the change of venue.

Dario Vidosic on...

The FA Cup... "It's the prestige of the FA Cup and it's another opportunity for us and a new competition. We're really looking forward to tonight."

Manchester United defeat and run of defeats... "I'm sure the girls will agree that we weren't quite there in the last three games. We had a bit of a tough run in with the original Durham game being postponed followed by quite a tough week as well in terms of travel."

"We want to be in those European places and challenging for titles. With that comes playing three games in a week. That's something to learn from again, but we know we want to be much better the way we play."

Durham... "We never underestimate anyone. There's always full respect to all of our opponents. It doesn't matter if it's a friendly game or a League Cup match or a final, we always approach the game with the exact same preparation and go into it with the mentality that we want to play our game at the standard that we uphold.

"I've said a couple of times that it doesn't really matter the badge or who the opponent is. We always approach the game the same way."
