Sunderland have the chance to replace Blackburn as Northern Premier leaders when home to Nottingham Forest, while Derby would go top if they beat Guiseley and and the Black Cats fail to win. Fifth-placed Stoke play Huddersfield who are two points ahead of them in fourth spot.

Southern Premier top two, Coventry and Watford go head-to-head for the second successive Sunday, United having beaten the Hornets 3-2 away in the Cup last week. Chichester could finish the weekend in second position with a victory at winless QPR.

West Brom will take back the Midlands Division 1 leadership from Wolves if they can manage a five-goal margin of victory at Sporting Khalsa. Long Eaton host newcomers Bedworth who have won all four games to date, Burton take on fourth-in-the-table Birmingham & West Midlands.

Burnley will lose their Northern Division 1 pole position as second plays third, with Brighouse home to Chorley.  Liverpool Feds face Newcastle, Chester le Street challenge Leeds and Crewe look to get off the mark in the basement battle against Barnsley.

Three points for Billericay at home to Enfield would see them remove Crawley from the South East Division 1 summit, eighth-placed Stevenage welcome an AFC Wimbledon side just a point behind them.

There might also be a change in South West Division 1, with Southampton WFC only needing to avoid defeat at Larkhall to knock Keynsham off the top, while Chesham and Swindon meet with five places but just two points separating them.

Three outstanding Plate 2nd Round ties all have Division 1 teams hosting Premier opponents, with high-scoring Keynsham likely to give Portsmouth a good game, Solihull meeting Middlesbrough and Brislington entertaining MK Dons.
