Women's Preview | Peterborough United v Norwich City

Elliana Martin

Norwich City Women are on the road for some midweek action against Peterborough United in the Northern Premier Division on Wednesday evening. 

The match will take place at Pims Park in a 7.45pm kick-off. 

The tie follows on from the Canaries' impressive 5-2 win over Redditch Borough in the first round of the FA Cup on Sunday. 

The goals came from Grace Riglar, Faith Harrison, Sienna Booty and Issy Moore, who was on target twice. 

Perry Northeast's side were last in league action the week prior, suffering a 2-0 defeat at the hands of West Brom. 

The Opposition

Currently sitting one place above City in 7th, Peterborough United have 12 points from eight games so far this season. 

Much like the Canaries, Posh were promoted from Tier 4 at the end of last season after topping the table in Division One Midlands. 

After a heavy opening day defeat to Rugby Borough, Jake Poole's side earned their first win in the Northern Premier Division at home to Liverpool Feds the following week. 

They then suffered three defeats back-to-back and ended September without picking up any league points. 

The tough month ignited a spark within the Blues, as they picked up maximum points in their following three fixtures. 

A 1-0 win over Middlesbrough was followed by a 3-2 win against Huddersfield Town and another 1-0 victory over Hull City sealed a perfect month. 

Ellie May is the club's top scorer in all competitions, with nine goals in 11 appearances.
