At 2pm today, Crystal Palace Women take on London City Lionesses at Hayes Lane in the historic FA Women’s Weekend as the Eagles seek to build on their markedly improved form from last season, targeting a mid-table finish in the FA Women’s Championship.
But facing them is quite the challenge - with London City Lionesses, a breakaway club from Millwall, sitting second in the league and seven points ahead of their south London rivals.
Both the Eagles and Lionesses have enjoyed strong starts to the season, with Palace collecting eight points from seven games and the weekend’s opponents picking up 15.
