Wolves have a chance to go top of the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division, while four of the Southern Premier’s leading five play among each other.
Hosting a winless Halifax, Wolves will knock Nottingham Forest off pole position if they take all three points. Stoke City will go level on points with the teams in third and fourth if they beat West Brom, Hull are home to Derby with only two points between them, Stourbridge are merely goal-difference ahead of visitors Sporting Khalsa with the latter in the relegation zone.
Exeter City sit fourth in the Southern Premier ahead of hosting leaders Hashtag United, while it’s second versus fifth as Oxford United entertain Billericay. Lewes are one point better off than visiting Cheltenham but basement side MK Dons travel to third-placed Ipswich Town.
Peterborough United lead Division 1 Midlands by one points from Leafield, with the Posh home to Lincoln United and Athletic at Solihull Moors. Lincoln City are yet to get off the mark and meet third-in-the-table Northampton Town, fourth-placed Loughborough Lightning are at Barnsley Women.
Middlesbrough’s advantage at the top of Division 1 North is also a single point and they entertain Durham Cestria, while second-placed Chorley head to Stockport County. Norton versus Cheadle is a meeting of sixth and third respectively, Leeds United in fourth face Barnsley FC.
Division 1 South East top team Norwich City visit fifth-placed London Bees, Actonians are one point off the top and home to London Seaward. QPR take on third-placed Dulwich Hamlet, Real Bedford are fourth and hosting Chesham.
AFC Bournemouth are ten points behind Division 1 South West leaders Swindon Town and away to Southampton Women, Moneyfields and Bristol Rovers also look to make up some ground when away to Bournemouth Sports and Portishead respectively.
AFC Wimbledon are in League Plate action against Southampton FC Academy at Plough Lane, with the winners set to host Norwich in the quarter-finals.
