OXFORD United Women travel to Hounslow tonight as they seek a win which would take them top of the table.

With league leaders Ipswich Town not in action, three points for United will move them to the summit of the National League Southern Premier.

The U’s are two points behind Ipswich, but with a game in hand, can leapfrog the Suffolk outfit.

In what is opening up as a three-way battle for the title, Southampton currently sit four points behind United but have the advantage of three games in hand on the U’s.

United go into the game off the back a 2-1 win at London Bees, a result which extended their winning run in the league to seven games.

Goals in each half from Beth Lumsden and Daisy McLachlan, either side of a Danielle Puddefoot strike, were enough to secure the win.

Lumsden got the U’s off to a dream start, driving the ball home after just three minutes.

However, the lead lasted just 10 minutes when Puddefoot took advantage of United’s failure to clear a corner.

Despite creating chances to retake the lead in the first half, the U’s had to wait until just after the hour to go back in front, when McLachlan headed home from a corner.

There is only one other game in the National League Southern Premier tonight with a mid-table clash as eighth-placed Portsmouth host Crawley Wasps, in seventh.

Kick-off for the Hounslow game is at 7.45pm.
