Crystal Palace are brimming with confidence ahead of Sunday's FA Women's Cup Third Round tie against Derby County.
The London & South East League side are the only club playing at Regional League level to have reached this stage - Blackpool Wren Rovers still have a Second Round tie to play - and manager Dean Davenport believes his team have the capability to upset their Premier League opponents.
Davenport told Women’s Soccer Scene: "The girls were flying in training.

"I have a full squad to choose from and they are fit and ready for the challenge.
"Although this is the furthest they have been in The FA Women’s Cup, they deserve their place and I am confident of a good showing on Sunday, and hopeful of being in Monday's Fourth Round draw."
Palace captain Kirsty Mitchell added: "All of the girls are looking forward to the game and excited at the thought of testing themselves against a Premier League side.
"We have the utmost respect for Derby but we are ready for Sunday's game and although we are a very young side, we are improving all the time and Derby will underestimate us at their peril."
Meanwhile, Plymouth Argyle manager Kevin Rose is relishing the chance to take on Brighton in the Pilgrims’ Third Round tie.
Argyle made it to this stage of the competition courtesy of a 6-1 victory over Exeter City.
Rose said: "Our squad is now made up of young enthusiastic players who have progressed through the Devon FA Centre of Excellence, with many of them still at Plymouth Argyle Ladies or Ivybridge Community College academy.
"This will be a great test for us as a club and the players as individuals to see how much we have developed over the past two seasons. Our ethos at the club is now one of progression as a club and development as individuals.
"We had a classroom session on Monday and watched Brighton play, and we have had feedback on their squad, one of whom used to play for us. We are expecting a very tough test from a Premier League team.
"Having said that, we feel ready to take on that challenge at this stage of the season. All our players know they will need to be at their best on Sunday, if they are then anything can happen, this is The FA Cup."
Argyle skipper Katie Middleton added: "I know that all of the girls are looking forward to the next round of The Cup.
"It would be great to progress as far as possible but more importantly, it will be a good opportunity to test ourselves against a team in the league above us.
"We didn't do ourselves justice when we played in that league a few seasons ago and it will be good to show everyone how we have developed as a team with new players coming through and improving all the time.
"It would also be great to get through to the Fourth Round as that's when the WSL teams enter the competition."
