More testing games for the FA Women’s National League Northern and Southern Premier leaders see Newcastle go to Burnley and Portsmouth head to Oxford.

Burnley have a crucial clash with Northern Premier leaders Newcastle United whom they trail by eight points with two games in hand, Southern top team Portsmouth hold a similar advantage over hosts Oxford United but from the same number of matches. Second-placed Hashtag United are three points behind Pompey and away to bottom-of-the-table London Bees. Rugby Borough could go third if they win at Plymouth, Chatham chase a first win against Cardiff City Ladies who are just the other side of the dotted line.

Loughborough Lightning are only goal-difference ahead of Boldmere at the top of Division 1 Midlands and facing a tricky trip to fourth-placed Sporting Khalsa, while the Mikes meet Lincoln City. Peterborough United trail the top two by three points and are home to Leek Town.

New Division 1 North leaders Middlesbrough entertain former top team Barnsley WFC, holding a three-point advantage over them as do Hull City who host Stockport. FC United tackle fourth-placed Durham Cestria, who are three points better off than Leeds before their home game with Chorley.

Division 1 South leaders AFC Wimbledon are at Chesham, unbeaten Norwich City visit Haywards Heath and third-placed Worthing welcome fourth-in-the-table QPR.

Both AFC Bournemouth and Exeter City have only dropped two points in Division 1 South West, with the Cherries next hosting Torquay and the Grecians on the road at fourth-placed Moneyfields.
