Leeds United Women are in FA Cup Second Round action against familiar opposition this weekend, welcoming Norton & Stockton Ancients to the BD Community Stadium.
The Whites take to the fixture having won three on the bounce, looking to create a run similar to that of the 10-strong winning streak amassed earlier this term.
The last of which came in the form of a 2-0 win away at Durham Cestria in the FA WNL Division One North. Brittany Sanderson found the back of the net within three minutes and an instinctive finish from Darcie Greene claimed all the points in the north east.
Due to fixture postponements elsewhere, that result saw Leeds establish a four point gap at the top of the table.
Prior to that win, the Whites secured progression to the Second Round with a 2-0 victory to Rotherham United Women on home turf.
A lovely team move was capped off by Ava Spencer-Smith tapping into the back of the net, before a captains goal from Shauna Legge guaranteed the win as she bundled home at the far post.
Back in October, both sides contested this fixture in league action, Amy Woodruff and Drew Greene converting to secure all three points.
In Division One North, 14 points separate the teams, Leeds firmly in top-spot on 25 points and Sunday's visitors on 11 in fifth.
Action from the BD Community Stadium gets underway at 2pm.
The view from inside the camp:
Ahead of the return to league action, Darcie Greene said: "I feel like it is very important to continue our winning form, we want to ensure we are consistent with our performances so that we are continuing to build confidence within the team.
"We have already faced Norton this season in the league. We know they are very strong defensively and a very hard team to play. We’ve got to concentrate on our game and make sure we are prepared."
