Blackburn Rovers have the chance to clinch the Northern Premier title with five games to spare, when they host Derby County on Sunday. Second-placed Sunderland are at Stoke City and there’s a basement battle between Bradford City and Doncaster Rovers Belles.

Southern Premier leaders Coventry United are home to third-placed Chichester City, while Cardiff City in second go up against Gillingham.

West Bromwich Albion can take another step toward the Midlands Division 1 title with victory over Nettleham, while challengers Wolves welcome lowly Steel City Wanderers.

Burnley remain on course to become Northern Division 1 champions at the first attempt but Barnsley provide the next hurdle, while second-placed Chester le Street Town are home to Chorley.

Crawley Wasps have a top of the table clash with Billericay Town at Crawley Town FC, where three points for the hosts will secure them top spot in their FAWNL debut season which has another five games to go.

Keynsham Town will effectively capture the South West Division 1 championship with a win over Maidenhead United, due to their much superior goal-difference compared with that of Southampton WFC.
