This weekend, Carlisle United face in-form Mancunian Unity at The Vestacare Stadium.
A week on from their Cumberland County Cup semi-final exit at the hands of Cumbrian rivals Penrith AFC Ladies, Carlisle are looking to become the first team to beat this weekend’s hosts.
Mancunian Unity, who sit top of the division, were victorious last weekend when they ran out 7-0 winners against Fleetwood Town Wrens Ladies Reserves with Ella Barnes, Megan Cardenas (x2), Jess Bamber (x3) and Liv Shaw scoring in an impressive win for the leaders.
Six wins in their last six games in the division, have seen them stay unbeaten in the league this term.
