Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Durham W & Manchester United W face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the League Cup Women. All the pre-match information is available here!
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Wsl 1 Women game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Leicester W. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Durham W form and stats
Durham W participated in League Cup Women the last season, where they reached the group stage.Seven points from three Wsl 2 Women home games is a great start for Durham W, who are hoping to build on that form here at Maiden Castle Sports Park.
A nice win for Durham W last time playing, versus Lewes W. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Robson and Hepple scoring for the victors. A late climax in the match against Lewes W as the winning goal came seven minutes into overtime; scored by Robson.
A 3-3 result against Sheffield Utd W before that, played at their own home stadium in the League Cup Women.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Crystal Palace W are coming to town in four days.
