Preview: Leeds United Women vs Chester-le-Street Ladies | OneFootball

Leeds United Women are back in FA Women’s National League Division One North action on Sunday, hosting Chester-le-Street Ladies at Garforth.

Looking to get 2026 off to a strong start, the Whites will be seeking a league double over the visitors after winning away from home thanks to Alice Hughes and Kath Smith's penalty.

Simon Wood’s side are coming into the clash off the back of a 3-2 win away at Norton in the league, forcing an 88th-minute winner to get one step closer to the top-spot.

United were last in action in the FA Cup, where they were beaten by league-above West Bromwich Albion Women, after a strong first-half performance.

Action from the Bannister Prentice Stadium gets underway at 2pm.
