United are riding high in Ryman Football League Division One South, while Westfield are in the bottom half of Sussex County Football League Division Two.

Despite the two-division gap between the clubs, United are expected to field a strong squad for a match which will get underway from 7.45pm at The Pilot Field.

United are unbeaten in their last eight league games, although they’ve been held to a draw in their last two and were beaten 4-2 away to Westfield in a pre-season friendly. Admission is £5 for adults and free for under-21s.

Elsewhere tonight, mid-table Sussex Division One side Rye United will make the long journey to Division Two high-flyers Loxwood for a tricky Sussex RUR Charity Cup third round tie.

Rye will be hoping to build on the improved form they showed during the 3-0 victory at home to Cove in the FA Vase on Saturday. The winners will be away to Horsham YMCA or Hassocks - two sides going well in Division One - in the quarter-finals.
