Watford Women will be champions of the FA WNL Southern Premier Division if they win away to Gwalia United on Sunday.

They will be hoping to get it done on the day, especially as their only other remaining fixture is against one of their title rivals, AFC Bournemouth, at the end of the month.

Rivals for an automatic promotion spot to WSL 2, Plymouth Argyle and the Cherries, host Oxford United and AFC Wimbledon respectively. The Dons are currently in the relegation zone, a point behind Hashtag United who travel to Cheltenham Town, two points better off than them.

The only Northern Premier match sees fifth-placed West Brom hosting Liverpool Feds, who would leapfrog the Baggies on goal difference with a win.

If Leeds United beat Wythenshawe, they’ll knock Huddersfield Town off the top of Division One North, but with more games played, while Cheadle Town host Chester le Street aiming to close in on the leaders. Doncaster Rovers Belles are out of the drop zone on goal difference as they face Durham Cestria, with York City just the other side of the dotted line up against Chorley.

Leafield Athletic would go second in Division One Midlands with a win over Kidderminster Harriers, who are three points from danger. Stourbridge sit in the drop zone and play Sheffield FC, while Sutton Coldfield are a point ahead and away to Northampton Town.

Fifth meets fourth in Division One South East as QPR take on Chatham, while Moneyfields play their game in hand on Division One South West leaders Swindon Town and would overtake them withg a victory, but face a challenge against fourth-placed Bristol Rovers.
