Preview: Leeds United Women vs Middlesbrough Women | OneFootball

Whites back in league action.

After three consecutive away victories, Leeds United Women return to the Bannister Prentice Stadium on Sunday as they host Middlesbrough in the FA Women’s National League North.

The Whites are looking to make it five wins from five, after starting with three wins in the league and advancing in the FAWNL Cup with a win over Leek Town.

Boro on the other hand, have had an indifferent start to the season. A 0-0 draw on the opening day against Teesside rivals Norton & Stockton Ancients was followed by a 5-3 defeat to Huddersfield in the FAWNL Cup and a 4-1 loss to Hull City in the league.

However, the Reds picked up their first three points of the season in midweek, with an impressive 1-0 win against last season's runners-up Durham Cestria, so come into this game with growing confidence.

Last time out

The Whites recorded a third consecutive, impressive away victory on Wednesday night, beating York City Ladies 3-1 at the LNER Community Stadium.

Jess Rousseau netted her second brace of the season, moving her on to five goals in four games, with Kath Smith also on target for the second time in a week.

Previous meetings

The Whites came out on top in an early season meeting last campaign at the So-Trak Stadium, thanks to a Laura Bartup penalty and Sarah Danby’s second half goal.

In the reverse fixture at Stockton Town FC, Leeds found themselves 2-0 down at half time after goals from Jess Dawson and Armani Maxwell, but a spirited comeback saw them travel home down the A1 with a point thanks to Paige Williams and Kath Smith goals.

Players to watch

Rousseau has started the season in red-hot form for Leeds, scoring in the opening day of the season win against Stockport before bagging braces against Leek Town and York.

That sees her tied at the top of the early-season goalscoring charts with Hull City duo Helen Lynskey and Hope Knight.

For Boro, a marquee addition for them this summer was the arrival of Bethany Guy from last season's title winners Newcastle United, she has already opened her account for Boro, scoring in the defeat to Hull.

There may also be a familiar face lining up against Leeds tomorrow in Rachel Hindle, who made the switch to Teesside this summer.
