Clarets boss Matt Bee told burnleyfcwomen.com: “Obviously, it has been a number of weeks without a game so we will be lacking a bit of match sharpness and intensity for this weekend, it is important that we adapt to the game situation and retain our discipline and structure.
“Forest will be a huge test; they are in good form and are a club that are targeting success. The infrastructure that they have in place in terms of the women’s game, they are leading the way in this division and that is something to be admired.”
Hollie Barker may make her Forest debut after the full-back joined from Sheffield United and is in contention to slot into her favoured right-back position after Izzy Dalton’s departure on Wednesday.
Sunderland host Loughborough at the changed venue of Hebburn Town FC, third-placed Stoke are home to Fylde, West Brom in fifth host a Huddersfield side three points behind them, while the bottom two hope to add to their three points apiece as Hull meet Middlesbrough and Sheffield FC welcome Derby.
Crawley Wasps are level on points with Southern Premier top team Watford as they prepare to play Portsmouth, Plymouth are third and away at basement team Chichester. Yeovil meet MK Dons, Oxford have home advantage over Keynsham and Hounslow host Gillingham.
Birmingham & West Midlands will go level on points with third-placed Long Eaton in Division 1 Midlands with victory against Burton, Leeds have the chance to go third in the North with three points at Stockport, while Leicester United and Leafield clash for the right to visit League Plate holders West Brom in the second round.
