Chesterfield Ladies host Lincoln United Women at Inkersall Road on Sunday afternoon in the East Midlands Women’s Premier Division.
The match is a vital one for both teams as Mike Noon’s outfit and Lincoln United Women are right in the thick of a battle alongside Notts County Women to win the league title and secure automatic promotion to the fourth tier of the football pyramid.
The Blues enter this game in third position in the league table and sit 11 points behind leaders Notts County Women. However, Chesterfield’s three games in hand on them means that there’s still all to play for.
