Leeds United Women return to FA WNL Division One North action on Sunday as they welcome Norton & Stockton Ancients to the Bannister Prentice Stadium.
The Whites will be keen to recapture their best form, having fallen to a narrow defeat against Huddersfield Town Women last time out, despite Amy Woodruff’s goal against the Terriers.
Before that, Simon Wood’s side had fought back to earn an important 2-2 draw away at Durham Cestria, after recording a thrilling 6-3 victory over Doncaster Rovers Belles on the road.
That clash saw Woodruff and Jess Rousseau each grab a brace, alongside goals from Darcie Greene and Drew Greene!
United sit fourth in the league standings, four points adrift of third-place Chorley and 12 points clear of Norton.
Chris Burton’s team have struggled for results this campaign, winning just four matches and sitting uncomfortably close to the relegation places.
Last time out, the division’s leading scorer Bianca Owens – who leads Woodruff by one in the race for the golden boot – was on target for the Teesside outfit, though they were beaten 3-2 on home soil by Stockport County.
The two sides have already met once this campaign with the Whites coming out on top in the North East 3-0, thanks to two strikes from Woodruff and a close-range finish from Kath Smith.
Action from the Bannister Prentice Stadium gets underway at 2pm.
