**Leatherhead host Hanworth Villa in a classic FA Cup Third Round clash where form is screaming one direction** — but knockout football has a way of humbling favorites. 🏆
Leatherhead's looking sharp with three wins in their last five, but Hanworth Villa are the real deal here: **4W in their last 5 including a brutal 6-0 demolition of Pagham**. That's the kind of form that turns up in replays.
Key storylines:
- **Hanworth's attack is surgical** — 4 goals in their last two games shows serious clinical finishing that Leatherhead's backline will need to respect
- **Leatherhead's home record is solid** but Hanworth have shown they can win anywhere, including 2-0 at Kingstonian
- **Cup football is a lottery**, and whoever controls midfield early (likely **J. Brissett** or **A. Javaid**) sets the tone
Expected lineups:
- **Leatherhead**: R. Hebditch, C. Black, G. Hedley, J. Jeffery, K. Wilson, C. Harris, H. Murphy, J. Brissett, A. Igozouln, K. Ntim, M. Barrington
- **Hanworth Villa**: M. Smith, A. Mansaray, B. Geraghty, B. Merson, B. Nutbeam, A. Javaid, B. Mulley, B. Barzey, C. Jolley, J. Timberlake, J. Erskine
Prediction:
**Hanworth Villa 2-1 Leatherhead**. Form wins on the day — slight lean to the visitors despite being on the road. 💪
