Burnley Women head to the North East this weekend, as Jackie Bachteler's side take on Newcastle United at St James' Park.

The Clarets head into the Barclays Women's Super League 2 clash looking to bounce back from Sunday's defeat at Forest in the Subway Players Cup.

United, who currently sit top-of-the-table, head into the clash unbeaten in the league so far this season, winning five and drawing one of their first six fixtures.

The last time the two sides met was in February 2024, where the Magpies ran out 3-0 winners at Leyland.
