Clarets face league leaders on Sunday

Burnley Women head to the City Ground to take on Nottingham Forest in the Northern Premier Division of the Women’s National League on Sunday.

The match is a 1st against 3rd clash in the Midlands, representing an opportunity for Rebecca Sawiuk’s side to draw level on points with the Reds at the top of the table.

After winning their first three league games, the Clarets are aiming to bounce back from last weekend’s 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Amber Hughes’ first-half goal was the difference between the two sides at Turf Moor, with Burnley rallying late but unable to find a crucial equaliser.

Nottingham Forest have made a faultless start to the campaign, claiming 12 points from a possible 12 and scoring 25 goals in the process.

Manged by Carly Davies, the Reds come into the fixture on the back of a 9-0 home victory over Stourbridge in which Sophie Domingo scored a hat-trick.

Melissa Johnson came off the bench to score a brace, with Mollie Green, Natallie Johnson, Charlie Wellings and Holly Manders also on target.

Last season’s meetings between these two teams saw the home side win on both occasions.

A Millie Ravening brace and further strikes from Amaya and Brenna McPartlan contributed to a 4-2 victory at the County Ground, Leyland, in September 2023.

Ginny Lackey’s goal wasn’t enough to earn a result in the January 2024 reverse fixture.

Tickets for the match at the City Ground are available to purchase online and are priced at £10 for adults, £8 for over 65s, 14-17 year-olds and students, and £6 for children aged 4-13.
