Ascot United is the latest side to visit the Charters Community Stadium, with Winchester City Flyers boasting an unbeaten home record this season.

United currently sit at the top of the Southern Region Premier Division and is unbeaten in all competitions.

The only points dropped for Ascot were in a 2-2 draw away to Wycombe Wanderers.

Ascot took the lead on two occasions and each time they were pegged back by the hosts.

Aside from that one draw the YellaWomen have been in flying form and have won their last four games.

Winning games has become a habit for the Berkshire based team and alongside that, they have been free-scoring in front of goal.

A total of 13 different players have found the back of the neck but the goals have predominately come from Leah Littlechild (8), Beth Lloyd (7) and Olivia Glover (6).

Despite being top of the league Ascot did part company with manager Nathan Baker on October 19th and have confirmed that Andy Cox will take charge of the team on an interim basis.

For the Flyers they come into the game on a five game unbeaten run following the defeats to Woodley and Oxford City.

Last time out Winchester City beat Badshot Lea 4-1 at home making it two home wins from two in the league.

Badshot initially took the lead through Shellie Irvine after just five minutes but the hosts hit back through Laura da Silva who then put the Flyers in front before the break.

Libby Wilkinson extended the lead from range in the second-half and then Kayleigh Tonks came off the bench to grab her first goal for the club and wrapped up the win.

A win for the Flyers on Sunday could see them move as high as fifth in the table.
