Leeds United Women return to FA Women’s National League Division One North action on Sunday, paying a visit to Cheadle Town Women.

The fixture marks the Whites’ second of 2026, as they look to build on a strong run to end last year and victory last time out against Chorley Women.

Ahead of the game, midfielder Alice Hughes spoke about the challenge. She said: “We’re feeling good ahead of the game on Sunday, feeling excited.

"We have had our rest and we're ready to kick on with getting that momentum back into place that we had going into Christmas.

“It's really good to be back in amongst the squad, in amongst the girls. The vibe and the mood in camp is really positive and it's really, really good and buzzy. So, yeah, looking forward to it.

“Momentum in football is huge,” Hughes added. “I think it makes a massive difference, but we're sort of taking things a game at a time. We're not looking further than the week ahead.

“That's the focus in terms of us as girls and that's the focus in terms of analysis. So we're very much focused on taking it week by week. But yeah, it's important to sort of start off as we mean to go on. Three points is the aim on Sunday.”
