Newcastle Women chasing fourth straight win
Oxtoby’s side could hardly have started the campaign better.
Newcastle sit top of WSL2 after taking nine points from their opening three matches.
They followed victories over Wolves and Bristol City by beating Sheffield United 4-1 at Gateshead.
Beth Lumsden opened the scoring before Martha Thomas struck twice in the second half.
Their early influence has been particularly significant.
Our analysis of Lumsden and Thomas’ impact on the Newcastle attack highlighted how the pair have been involved in six of United’s opening seven league goals.
Leicester provide next WSL2 test
Leicester arrive as the next challenge for a Newcastle side attempting to turn an excellent September into a genuine promotion push.
United have scored seven times while conceding only once through three games.
That gives Oxtoby’s side an early platform, but Sunday offers another chance to show their improved attacking output can be maintained.
Newcastle have also continued investing in the women’s programme away from the pitch, with ReadNewcastle previously covering the club’s £30million facilities investment.
For now, attention turns back to Gateshead and the opportunity to make it four league wins from four.
Newcastle Women team news vs Leicester
Newcastle have received a double fitness boost ahead of the game.
Jordan Nobbs is back in Tanya Oxtoby’s squad, while Jessie Gale has also returned to first-team training.
Oxtoby described the increased competition for places as a welcome selection headache as Newcastle begin a demanding run of three matches in a week.
