Nottingham Forest and Derby County clash at the City Ground in the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division.
Forest will look to cut the gap on the leading pair from the first of their two games in hand, while the Rams would go above their rivals if they were to win by two clear goals.
London Bees will go level on points with third-placed Portsmouth in the Southern Premier if they beat Gillingham, who need all a victory to get out of the bottom two.
It’s top versus bottom in Division 1 Midlands as Stourbridge host Long Eaton, while Doncaster and Sporting Khalsa clash with any victor set to climb to second.
After Chesham’s midweek mauling at leaders Hashtag United, they next welcome Norwich City who sit second in the Division 1 South East table. Hounslow hope for a first win with home advantage over Ashford Town.
In Division 1 South West it’s third against second, Bournemouth will go top if they win, a draw will be sufficient for Cardiff to displace leaders Exeter City.
