Second-placed Sunderland host Barclays Women’s Championship leaders Crystal Palace with both sides currently unbeaten.
Palace but nine past Durham last weekend and so lead the table on goal-difference from Sunderland, who have yet to concede but have only scored twice.
Reading have drawn all three games to date and at noon host third-placed Southampton, who dropped their first points last time out.
There are two other 12 o’çlock starts as Durham – looking to respond to last week’s thrashing – play London City Lionesses and Sheffield United entertain Lewes, with both sides having just a single point to their names.
Birmingham City are a third side on one point and face Charlton Athletic who sit on two.
Watford have had a mixed start to their second-tier return and welcome a Blackburn side that was taken two wins from three.
