Hayles eyeing FA Cup success.

Oxford United of the National League South are the visitors to BS8, and the Robins' leading scorer is well aware of the threats the promotion-hopefuls will possess.

“It’s going to be a tough game because they’re top of their league, but hopefully we can continue our momentum,” she said.

“Oxford will want to prove a point. We’re in the league they’re trying to get into, so it won’t be easy.

“They’ll be physical but will want to play with the ball as well so we need to watch out for that.”

Hayles was on the scoresheet last time out in the competition as City progressed following a 2-0 victory over fellow Championship side Southampton, and she’ll be hoping her side can continue their run.

“It seems like a while ago we played in the Third Round, but it was a good performance from us which we’ll need replicate against Oxford,” she continued.

“Everyone loves to play in the FA Cup and hopefully we can push on in the competition.

“We want to get as far as possible and it would only be a benefit to us as a group.

“We’ll give it all we’ve got.”
