And Huddersfield Town will look to bounce back from last week’s loss when they host Preston North End, who lie just a few places below them.

At the bottom of the table, Wolverhampton Wanderers should have fresh legs after the postponement of last week’s game as they prepare to host ninth-placed Newcastle United.

In the final League game of the weekend, there's a mid-table battle between East Midland rivals Nottingham Forest and Derby County. In the reverse fixture earlier this season, it was Derby who won the bragging rights with a 5-3 win.

Meanwhile, Stoke City will be in County Cup action as they face Bradwell Belles.

In the Southern Division, Charlton Athletic can stay top with a win at home to West Ham and can take confidence from the reverse rubber a month ago when the Addicks won 3-1.

Brighton & Hove Albion will not want to give them any breathing room through, as they travel to eleventh-placed Copsewood (Coventry).

Cardiff City can stay third with a repeat performance of when they hosted Gillingham, as the October clash saw a 6-2 win for the South Wales side. 

But Gillingham are sitting in ninth place will be looking for revenge when they have home advantage.

Fourth-placed Portsmouth Ladies host Tottenham Hotspur, with both club on the same number of points, meaning a win for either team and a slip-up from Cardiff would see them go third.

Queens Park Rangers will look to recover from their loss last week, when they host seventh placed Lewes.

At the bottom of the table, Keynsham Town are looking for their first win when they host eighth placed Plymouth Argyle.
