The Lowdown
Hebburn return to home soil after a remarkable 4-4 draw at Ossett United last weekend. The Hornets raced into a three goal lead thanks to Dean Briggs, Robbie Spence and Amar Purewal, before four Ossett goals turned the game on its head.

A late own goal allowed the Hornets to salvage a point and keep their position at the top of The Pitching In Northern Premier League East table.
Ryan Cresswell's Sheffield side meanwhile are at the opposite end of the table with 10 points from their opening 12 fixtures, although they do have games in hand on the sides above them.

Last weekend they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Stockton Town, but they hit double figures in County Cup action in midweek, with a 10-0 win over Elite AFC.

Head-to-Head
Last season's meetings between the two sides brought a pair of 2-1 home victories.
In August, Hebburn emerged victorious on home soil with Liam Henderson and Sean Reid netting in the second half to overturn Connor Cutts' opener.

In the reverse fixture, Joshua Burns gave Sheffield an early lead before Benni Ndlovu doubled their advantage with less than five minutes remaining. A late Purewal penalty was not enough for the Hornets to salvage a point.
Hebburn had secured the double over Sheffield in the previous campaign.

Pre-Match Thoughts
Hebburn Manager Daniel Moore is looking for a response from his players. "We've got two big games," Moore commented, "Sheffield, like Ossett, are scrapping for every single point they can get and then we go away to Belper, so we will see what we're about in the next two games."
