FA Women’s National League Cup and Plate quarter-finals get underway, while Leafield and Wolves can regain divisional leaderships.

Wolves will retake the Northern Premier top spot from Nottingham Forest if they defeat mid-table Derby County, Ipswich Town can go clear in the Southern Premier when hosting AFC Wimbledon, while Exeter City will go fifth should they beat Billericay but the Essex side could jump three places to fifth if they were to take all three points.

Leafield will be back in the Division 1 Midlands pole position if they avoid defeat at Sutton Coldfield, Leeds can do likewise in the North when away at Norton.

Chatham have a chance to go second on goal-difference in the South East and London Bees have an opportunity to leap three places to fourth, while Bristol Rovers will be level on points with third-placed South West side Moneyfields if they can win away at Bournemouth Sports.

Quarter-Final ties in the League Cup see Plymouth welcome Watford to Home Park and holders Hashtag United host Real Bedford, with other ties put back due to rescheduled FA Cup games.

In the last eight of the Plate, Norwich City have a noon kick-off at Southampton FC Academy, AFC Bournemouth are home to Cambridge United and Stockport County take on higher division Cheltenham Town.
