FAWPL Preview: Sunday 6 November<br />

Two league, two Plate and three Cup games<br />

make up the FAWPL North agenda this week.<br />

Sticking with league matters, two of last<br />

week’s most impressive sides face off in the<br />

North East.<br />

Newcastle United and Stoke <strong>City</strong> caused the<br />

big upsets last Sunday, and they will look to<br />

pick up where they left off today.<br />

With Nottingham Forest not in league action,<br />

even a point will take Newcastle off the<br />

bottom, while a draw suits Stoke nicely too —<br />

who would climb three places, to fourth.<br />

The other league encounter is similarly<br />

exciting, as second placed Middlesbrough<br />

welcome third-placed Fylde.<br />

Despite their lofty positions, neither are in<br />

great form recently and will look to put their<br />

inconsistencies behind them to close the gap<br />

on still unbeaten leaders, Blackburn Rovers.<br />

Moving onto the cup and sticking with the<br />

table-toppers, Rovers take on Loughborough<br />

Foxes this afternoon, who were relegated<br />

from the third tier last season.<br />

The Foxes are flying in the Midlands Division<br />

One and will go into this game full of<br />

confidence, even if they are the underdogs.<br />

Derby County and West Bromwich Albion are<br />

also huge favourites in their cup games, as<br />

they too face lower league opposition.<br />

16 | FA WOMEN’S PREMIER LEAGUE PLATE | BRADFORD CITY VS HUDDERSFIELD TOWN<br />

If any, West Brom look the most likely to be<br />

upset, the out-of-sorts Northern champions<br />

facing a Wolves side who have lost just one<br />

league game all season.<br />

Derby’s opponents, Chester le Street <strong>Town</strong>,<br />

are sixth in the Northern Division One.<br />

Finally, the other Plate game away from<br />

Eccleshill United today sees Leicester up<br />

against Chorley, who have lost only once in<br />

Northern Division One this season.
