FA Women’s National League fixtures feature the East Midlands derby at the City Ground and Watford playing Plymouth Argyle at Vicarage Road.
Forest have a two-point advantage over nearest Northern Premier title rivals Wolves, with a game in hand before hosting Derby County who are down in eighth place. Nottingham had to come from behind to win their away clash in October, Charlie Wellings making it 2-1 in added time.
Burnley will halve the gap on the second and third-placed sides if they win at West Brom, Rugby Borough in fifth are home to a Sporting Khalsa side seven points clear of danger. Hull City are in a similar position and hosting next-to-bottom Stourbridge.
Ipswich Town play one of their three games in hand on Southern Premier leaders Hashtag United, whom they trail by six points, when visiting Gwalia United in Cardiff, with the Welsh side eighth but only three points above the relegation zone.
Cheltenham Town are just a single point ahead of the drop zone and visiting AFC Wimbledon, Plymouth Argyle the wrong side of the dotted line as they prepare to travel to Watford who stand to go fourth with a victory.

The schedule in the first divisions is further reduced by County Cup commitments, with no matches in the Midlands. Middlesbrough will go level on points with Division 1 North leaders Cheadle if they defeat Norton, Fylde are five points from safety with four games left as they travel to Stockport.
Division 1 South East leaders Real Bedford visit an Ashford Town side in grave danger of the drop, while in Division 1 South West Southampton Women will be down if they fail to win at Bournemouth Sports who remain in danger themselves.
County Cup ties include Moneyfields against AFC Bournemouth, with more matches involving FA WNL teams listed here.
