The Blues are the last Suffolk team left in the competition, after Newmarket Town were knocked out in the second qualifying round.

Town received national attention last season after a embarking on a record-run to the fifth-round before losing to then-holders Manchester City.

This year they are looking to repeat the feat again, having beaten Peterborough Northern Star and local rivals Norwich City prior to their victory last weekend.

They also sit top of the FA Women’s National League Division 1 South East, with four wins from four ahead of their trip to AFC Wimbledon on Sunday.

Billericay meanwhile sit second-bottom in the league after three games.

Their form in the cup is much better however, getting to the second round thanks to victories over Cambridge United, Chesham United and Maidenhead United.
