OXFORD United Women will look to revive their title bid at rock-bottom Hounslow Women tonight.
The U’s would move to within three points of FA Women’s National League Southern Premier leaders Southampton Women if they win in West London.
Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at Bridgwater United saw United lose ground in the title race, but they have a great opportunity to get back on track.

Hounslow are yet to pick up a point in 22 games this season, scoring just five goals and losing 7-0 to the U’s at Court Place Farm last month.
Despite this, manager Liam Gilbert maintains United must be on their game.
“Wednesday presents a brilliant opportunity to get back to winning ways before two massive games against Ipswich and Southampton,” he told the club’s official website.
“We need to approach the game in a professional manner and not be complacent because of our previous win over Hounslow.
“They will want to show that they have improved since that first game and it will be difficult.”
The fixture was initially scheduled for February 16, but was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
