Leeds United Women round off their FAWNL Division One North campaign as they host Chester le Street Town at the Bannister Prentice Stadium.

Simon Wood's side go into the clash sat in fifth-place, two points ahead of Stockport County as they look to bounce back from defeat last time out and finish the season positively.

Despite Jess Rousseau adding another to her tally in the pursuit of the league's golden boot award, the Whites were unable to prevent Yorkshire rivals Hull City Ladies from grabbing the three points they needed to be crowned champions last time out.

Finding the back of the net hadn’t been a problem in the run up to the clash with the Tigresses, first dismantling Chorley 4-1 in Garforth before playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw away against Stockport.

In what has been a difficult campaign for Chester le Street, Phil Hubbard’s side are staring down the barrel or relegation, needing results to go their way and a large goal swing if they are to avoid the drop.

The Durham outfit sit three points adrift of York City after falling to a 5-2 defeat at the hands of Chorley last time out, despite a brace from forward Jenny Ashton.

The two sides have already met once this campaign, with United running out 3-1 winners at a windswept Moor Park. Ellie Dobson and Leoni Price had put Leeds into a commanding 2-0 lead at the break, before striker Rousseau sealed proceedings late on in County Durham.
