Sutton United and Hemel Hempstead go head to head for the third time in nine days tonight, and this time there has to be a winner.

The rivals played out a 2-2 draw in National League South two weekends ago, and then drew 1-1 in Saturday’s FA Cup third qualifying round clash - featuring a first goal in United colours for Ross Stearn.

Tonight’s replay will pocket the winners £7,500 in prize money and a shot at reaching the first round proper.

Unsurprisingly, boss Paul Doswell is expecting another tough clash.

He told the club’s website: “It will be another close game. The two teams are evenly matched, know everything about each other and will both be keen to reach the next round.

“Our fans were excellent on Saturday and we need more of the same on Monday to help us get over the line."
