Leeds United Women return to FA Women’s National League Cup action this afternoon, making the trip to Hull City Ladies in the First Round.
The Whites topped Group U on seven points following a 5-2 win away at York, 2-2 draw at Norton & Stockton Ancients, and a 1-0 victory over Halifax in the opening clash.
Last time out, Leeds recorded a last-gasp 1-0 win away at Huddersfield Town Women in the league, as Amy Woodruff's finish helped claim the three points in the 85th minute to secure the bragging rights.
There are two changes to the lineup from that Derby Day victory, with Ellie White and Izzy Elliott being named in the Starting XI.
Carrie Simpson retains her spot between the sticks, behind a back four of Alayna Millard, Captain Shauna Legge, Izzy Elliott, who makes her first appearance this season, and Darcie Greene, who completes the defence.
White returns to the midfield three, which also consists of Monique Watson and Alice Hughes, and a front three of Drew Greene, Chloe Dixon, and last-week’s match-winner Woodruff finalises the Leeds XI.
Charlotte Oates is joined on the bench by Kath Smith, Abbie Graham, Paige Williams, Macy Ellis, Emily Cassidy and Sian Gibrill-Keating.
Starting XI: Simpson (GK), Millard, Legge (C), Elliott, Darcie Greene, Hughes, Watson, White, Drew Greene, Dixon, Woodruff.
Subs: Oates (GK), Smith, Graham, Williams, Ellis, Cassidy, Gibrill-Keating.
Hull: Wattam (GK), Hamill, Tanser (C), Ackroyd, Hunt, Tugby-Andrew, Haywood, Foyer, Nicholson, Gatt, Cockerill.
Subs: Wallace (GK), Wilson, Akrill.
