Leeds United Women will take to the pitch at the BD Community Stadium this Sunday, where they will face off against Huddersfield Town Women in a crucial FA WNL Cup Group Stage match. This encounter promises to be an exciting showdown as both teams look to assert their dominance in the competition.
The Whites began their Group T campaign on a high note last Thursday, securing a thrilling 3-2 victory against Halifax Women.

Despite Halifax leveling the score twice, Chloe Dixon's late strike found the top corner, ensuring Leeds walked away with all three points.
Leeds United Women have also been in impressive form in the league, having recently delivered a commanding 5-0 victory over Chorley Women. The match saw a quiet first half, with Leeds leading 1-0 at the break thanks to a clever finish from Darcie Greene. However, the second half showcased Leeds' attacking prowess, as they added four more goals to their tally, solidifying their position at the top of the league table.
On the other hand, Huddersfield Town Women have enjoyed a solid start to their campaign in Tier 3, boasting two wins against Boldmere St. Michaels and Loughborough Lightning, along with a draw. Their strong performance has placed them in second position in the Northern Premier Division, setting the stage for an intriguing matchup against Leeds.
In the FA WNL Cup, Huddersfield Town Women have also made their mark, having triumphed over Bradford City Women with a convincing 3-0 scoreline. This victory currently places them at the top of Group T, making them a formidable opponent for Leeds as they look to maintain their winning momentum.
