Previous meetings
The two sides played out two entertaining games when they met last season. At the So-Trak Stadium, the Whites were comfortable winners thanks to goals from Abbie Brown (2), Macy Ellis and Laura Bartup.
At Stockport Sports Village, Leeds found themselves behind early on after Maria Figueiredo’s opener but rallied with goals from Amy Woodruff and Brown, to lead 1-2 before the break. However, two inspired substitutions would help Stockport take all three points, with Rachel Davison and Ella Ritchie both coming off the bench to score and give the Blues a 3-2 victory.
