Third-tier Newcastle United will make their way to Leigh Sports Village in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup fourth round as Marc Skinner’s team looks to improve on their previous cup campaign, which ended in defeat against Chelsea in May.
Newcastle will try to defeat another Manchester-based team in Mancunian Unity on Sunday after defeating one earlier this season.
After ten games, the Red Devils are seven points behind Chelsea, the top team in the WSL, reflecting a lacklustre campaign.
October was a terrible month for Skinner’s team; they won only two of seven games across all competitions, and they were eliminated from the Champions League qualifying round with a 3-1 loss to PSG on the road.
Furthermore, the Reds’ home record this season has not been great—they have only won once, and that victory came against West Ham in a 5-0 hammering.
They have won all three of their games in the Conti-Cup, though, and are loving life there even if they still have to wait until later this month to play Manchester City, one of their fiercest rivals.
