Albion Sports will have to produce another of their awayday special performances if they are to make the last eight of the FA Umbro Sunday Cup tomorrow.

The Bradford Sunday Alliance League champions face a testing fourth round battle against Bristol side Bradley Stoke Rangers.

And they will be hoping they can re-discover the magnificent away form which carried them through every round of last year's competition until they were beaten by Hull team Prestige Brighams in the final at Nottingham Forest's City Ground.

Albion reached this stage with a 1-0 win in Liverpool over Nicosia after previously defeating another Merseyside outfit, Seymour, 3-2 at Horsfall Stadium.

But this is a real trip into the unknown against aside which is playing in the competition for the very first time.

Albion boss Kulwinder Sandhu is taking his team to Bristol tonight and believes that will help their preparations.

He said: "We looked at all the options and decided it was far too far to risk travelling on the day. By staying at a hotel we can ensure that the players are more rested for the game.

"We are certainly expecting it to be a difficult match -- all games are in this competition as we found last year -- but we hope we can maintain the away form which took us to last year's final."

Albion have been dealt a double blow with the news that midfieldmen Harmit Singh and Paul Forrest have been ruled out by injury.

Harmit Singh suffered a damaged ankle in last week's 5-1 win over Craven Heifer while Forrest remains sidelined by tonsillitis.

Albion will be hoping that key players Jason Ryan, Stefan Zoll and Amjad Iqbal are fit after featuring in matches today.

Manager Sandhu said: "This is a big setback. We have lost half of our midfield for an important match but we will go down there and give it our best shot."

Bradley Stoke Rangers are the current Bristol Sunday Regional League champions. Their side is made up of players who play Saturday football in senior competitions such as the Dr Martens, Hellenic and Screwfix Leagues.

Their squad includes the Tiverton assistant manager Martyn Grimshaw and the only player who has been with a Football league club is right winger Marlon Francis who had a brief spell with Bristol Rovers.

Bradley have developed a reputation for being good battlers. Their mettle has certainly been tested in the three previous rounds.

In the first round they defeated Luton Celtic Supporters Club on penalties after a 1-1 draw before beating fellow Bristol side Hanhan 3-1 after extra-time in the second round.

They reached this stage with a 2-0 victory over the Essex side Santos.

Squad: Hawkes, Beck, I Hussain, Bassra, Clarke, Iqbal, Ryan, T Hussain, Zoll, T Singh, Archer, Hunter, H Singh, I Singh, Grant.
