Clarets on the road on Sunday

Burnley Women will aim to take three valuable league points when they face their Stoke City counterparts on Sunday afternoon.

Rebecca Sawiuk’s team are relishing a return to action, with the weather causing the postponement of Thursday night’s trip to Halifax.

Burnley’s last outing was the 1-1 Northern Premier Division of the Women’s National League draw at West Bromwich Albion last weekend.

Phoebe Warner gave the hosts a 14th-minute lead at the Hawthorns but the Clarets fought back and earned a point via Aimee Kelly, who produced a creative flick to score from close range.

As such, Burnley sit 3rd with 30 points from their 14 matches and are four points behind 2nd-placed Nottingham Forest, who have played a game more.

All the dates, times, and venues you need for the week ahead

Stoke City were 2-0 victors over Derby County on Wednesday night, courtesy of first half goals from Heidi Logan and Lily Murphy.

The Potters currently sit just a place behind Burnley in the table but have played a game more.

They are led by Marie Hourihan, who has overseen the team since the summer when she became the Club’s first full-time Head Coach alongside a coaching role within their Academy.

The two teams are yet to play each other last season, but the Clarets were 7-2 victors when they clashed in April 2023.

Kick-off at Emerys Stadium (ST6 1QF) is 2pm and supporters are more than welcome to attend. Entry on the turnstiles is £3 for adults and £1 for juniors.
