Nottingham Forest take on Newcastle United at the City Ground in the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division.

A league programme diminished by Cup commitments features fourth-placed Forest against unbeaten second-in-the-table Newcastle, who are four points better off than their hosts and as many points behind leaders Burnley but with two games in hand.

Division 1 Midlands leaders Loughborough Lightning can stretch their lead over Peterborough United when playing Sutton Coldfield Town.

Hull City will go second in Division 1 North should they win at Durham Cestria, but defeat would see them leapfrogged by their hosts.

Division 1 South East fixtures include top-of-the-table AFC Wimbledon versus London Seaward and a clash of fourth and second with Worthing welcoming Norwich City.

Four FAWNL sides try again to play their Women’s FA Cup 1st Round ties, including Plymouth Argyle whose match with South West Regional League Ilminster Town has been moved to Home Park, with the winners to host AFC Stoneham.

Wigan Athletic and Chorley clash with the reward to be a home tie with Newcastle United. Bristol Rovers await a visit from Marine Academy Plymouth or Keynsham Town, Southampton Women or Brentford will host Maidenhead United.
