Having signed off before the festive period with an 11-3 victory over AFC Fylde Women last month - the Magpies' ninth success from ten league matches this term - United welcome the West Yorkshire team to Kingston Park in their first game of 2024.

As well as topping the table, the Magpies have the highest average attendance in the division; a crowd of 4,172 turned out for November's 5-0 win over Stourbridge Women, while United were watched by crowds of 28,565 and 24,092 at St. James' Park last season, as well as beating West Brom Women 3-0 in front of another sizeable attendance at the stadium as part of the Sela Cup in pre-season.

Kick-off at Kingston Park this weekend is at 14:00 GMT and ticket prices are £5 for adults and £1 for children.

But supporters who can't make the match will be able to watch for free on NUFC TV, while the game will also be streamed live on Newcastle United's official YouTube channel.

Commentary will come from former Lioness Aran Embleton, a Newcastle fan from Cramlington who became one of the first women from the North East to represent England and played in the Women's FA Cup final for Doncaster Belles in 2000, and United defender Jodie Bartle, who is currently recovering from injury.

Number nine Katie Barker, classy midfielder Elysia Boddy and on-song winger Tyler Dodds will be among the players looking to catch the eye against tenth-placed Halifax.

Can Langley's lasses kick off the new year in style and maintain their unbeaten start to the season? Buy tickets here or watch live on NUFC TV or YouTube from 14:00 GMT on Sunday.
