Clarets host Potters in league clash

Sunday afternoon will see Burnley Women return to the pitch following recent fixture postponements, with Stoke City visiting the Lancashire FA County Ground in Leyland.

After trips to Halifax and Stoke were cancelled, the Clarets come into this fixture on the back of a one all draw with West Bromwich Albion.

The Baggies earned a first half lead but Rebecca Sawiuk's showed their resilience to claim a point via a skilful Aimee Kelly flick from close range.

Since that afternoon in the Midlands the team have been able to put their training time to good use, and will be aiming to return to winning ways against a Stoke City team who come into the fixture in a good vein of form.

The Potters are fourth in the Northern Premier Division of the Women's National League, seven points and a place behind Burnley.

Marie Hourihan's side come into this fixture after a 2-0 home victory against Derby County last week. They grabbed an early advantage through in-form forward Heidi Logan, who slotted a Kayleigh McDonald pass beyond Sarah Morgan 11 minutes in.

City then found their second midway through an impressive first-half when Saffron Jordan converted a cross from Lily Murphy.

Prior to that they recorded a 2-1 victory over Huddersfield Town.

The two teams are yet to play each other this season, with the reverse fixture at Emerys Stadium being called off on multiple occasions.

Kick-off at the Lancashire FA County Ground is 2pm and supporters are more than welcome to attend. Burnley season ticket holders can claim free entry, with other adults priced at £5 and juniors at £1.

Alternatively, the match will be streamed live on the Club's official TikTok account and updates will be shared on X @BurnleyFCWomen, with a match report to follow the final whistle on www.burnleyfootballclub.com.
