Leeds United Women are in FA Cup action this Sunday as they make the trip north to face South Shields Women.
The hosts are currently one division below Leeds, but will no doubt provide a tough test for Rick Passmoor’s side, after starting their North East Regional Premier Division season with four wins from four.
Leeds are coming into the game in their best form of the season so far having won two and drawn one of their last three games.
The Whites side were held to their first draw of the season on Wednesday evening against York City, although Passmoor described it as a good point against a side he believes many will come unstuck against.
