Women's Preview Wolves A

Burnley Women head south in search of three Barclays Women’s Super League 2 points on Friday, with Wolverhampton Wanderers providing the opposition.

The Clarets are aiming to bounce back from late heart break against Sunderland last time out, having earned a point against Watford in their first away trip of the campaign.

Like ourselves, Wolverhampton Wanderers are adapting to life in the second tier following promotion from the FAWNL Northern Premier Division.

This is a second home game in less than a week for the Old Gold, following a 3-1 victory over Sheffield United on Sunday afternoon.

Wolverhampton Wanderers – ones to watch

Anna Morphet

Morphet has been with Wolves since 2018, switching from fellow Midlands outfit Aston Villa.

The left-back has been a regular in Dan McNamara’s side ever since and is now club captain, having taken that responsibility since the start of the 2024/25 season.

Now 25, Morphet has shown a keen eye for goal over the years and will be a threat going forwards, in addition to her strong defensive work.

Amy Sims

Sims has been a standout name in the third tier of English women’s football in recent years, initially making her name at girlhood club Derby County.

Having netted 40 goals in two seasons and won the FAWNL top scorer award in 2023, she then helped Nottingham Forest to promotion before joining Wolves ahead of last season.

Having recovered from injury towards the back end of 2025/26, Sims has started both games this term and scored against Sheffield United last week.

Melissa Lawley

Lawley will be a familiar name to Burnley fans, having spent time on loan with the Clarets from Everton last season.

The experienced attacker has more than 100 top-flight appearances and 12 senior England caps to her name.

Having secured a permanent move to her girlhood club Wolves over the summer, she’ll be keen to hit the ground running at tier two level.

What Jackie Bachteler said:

“If we look at our last game against Sunderland, and the fight and resilience that we showed. After going down a goal, we still created two chances after that.

“That energy has been brought into this week, and we’re going to bring that same resilience against Wolves.

“Last year I was really impressed with Wolves. It’s two teams that are really physical and really value the physical side of the game. I expect a physical battle, and whoever wins that will win the game.”

What Brenna McPartlan said:

“I’m really excited. I think we’re playing a familiar team in Wolves, but it’s always a competitive game.

“There are obviously things to work on (from the Sunderland game), but there were so many positives too and we’re getting better each game.

“Wolves are always competitive, they’re ruthless, they’re hard working, they’re aggressive. We know exactly what they’re like, so we’ll be prepared.”
