Newcastle United Women will return to Kingston Park for the first time in over a month as they take on Liverpool Feds in the FA Women's National League North.
The Lasses have won their last seven league games but will be looking to put their devastating cup final defeat to Hashtag United behind them by extending their lead at the top of the FAWNLN with four games to go.
Liverpool Feds are without a win in their last three games, losing one and drawing two. But are safe in the knowledge that relegation is not a possibility for them anymore.
In the reverse fixture, Newcastle won 4-0 at the Jericho Lane Sports Hub.
Forward Kacie Elson; who scored in the away fixture spoke to the club ahead of the game.
"They've always been a difficult team to break down, we shouldn't underestimate what they can do on the ball" She said.
Liverpool Feds and Newcastle were rivals in a title race in the 2021/22 season, with the Feds taking the title on the final day of the season.
"There's a lot of history between the two clubs and there was very much a sense of revenge the first time we played them in this league because of when they pipped us to the league and stopped us being in this league a year earlier."
The match takes place at Kingston Park, kick-off is 2pm on Sunday 31 March. Tickets are £5 for adults and £1 for children.
Fans who can't make it to the game will be able to watch the game for free on NUFC TV or on the clubs official YouTube channel.
"I'm very excited (to be back at Kingston Park). Elson added.
"We always want to give the fans three points and a win.
"Their support is great and no matter where we go we feel as though we've got the home advantage because they're out 12th player."
