Surrey Storm host the UK's biggest ever domestic netball match when they take on rivals Hertfordshire Mavericks at the Copper Box Arena for Netball London Live 2017.
Defending champions Storm will be defending their unbeaten start to the Vitality Netball Superleague season, having secured three wins out of three, and they will be targeting another which would keep them at the top of the table.
The Mavericks, meanwhile, have secured just one win from the opening three rounds, but with a win at Copper Box this time last year they will want to keep their London Live crown in hand.
Former Mavericks and England defender Naida Hutchinson told Storm's official website: "I've played at the Copper Box Arena a couple of times against Storm and they're always great, close games. I am looking forward to another close game with a fantastic side.
"Obviously this year I will be on a different team but hopefully we'll get the win. I will be playing against some of my closest friends as well but at the end of the day once you step on that netball court friendship ends and it is all about being the best in that moment in time for your team."

Coach Tania Hoffman will lead Storm in the Olympic Park for the first time, although Mavericks assistant coach Kat Ratnapala is no stranger to the venue having won the Superleague with Storm there last season.
The record-breaking event, which sold out in both the 2015 and 2016 seasons, is expected to be another sell-out.
Tickets for the event are still available at www.netballlondonlive.com and will also be available on the door (subject to availability).
