Storm only booked their place in this stage just over a week ago by scoring two goals in a 4-2 defeat to the Steelers played at IceSheffield. That result was not only enough to put Manchester through, but secured top seed spot in the knockout stages for the Steelers.

Manchester have struggled against the Steelers in recent years with under a handful of victories against Sheffield in Altrincham in their last ten meetings. Storm have lost their last five straight games heading into this clash, while the Steelers are unbeaten in four.
