FA Women’s National League action this weekend sees Nottingham Forest again at the City Ground, Leeds United at Elland Road and QPR at Loftus Road.

Nottingham Forest will go back to the top of the Northern Premier if they defeat fifth-placed Stoke City, Hull host Burnley in fourth and Derby entertain next-to-bottom Sporting Khalsa.

There’s a clash of second and third in the Southern Premier with Ipswich hosting Oxford United, Town having two games in hand on their visitors as well as leaders Hashtag, who are at Watford. Lewes versus AFC Wimbledon is a meeting of sixth and fourth, while one of the other games sees Plymouth attempt to get out of the drop zone at the expense of visitors Cheltenham.

Peterborough play Northampton with any winner on the day set to go top of Division 1 Midlands, while bottom two Lincoln City and Worcester City go head to head.

Leeds welcome York to Elland Road with United just a point behind leaders Middlesbrough who are home to Barnsley FC. Cheadle are similarly close to Boro and away at Fylde.

Division 1 South East top team Actonians go up against Ashford Town, nearest rivals Chatham and real Bedford host Cambridge United and Dulwich respectively, while QPR take on Norwich at Loftus Road.

Swindon meet Moneyfields in a clash of first and third in Division 1 South West, AFC Bournemouth take their perfect form to Portishead.
