Luton Town Ladies will be looking to build on their draw from two goals down at QPR last time out when they face off against tier-three side Oxford United in the Women’s FA Cup this Sunday.

The U’s sit ninth in the WNL Premier Division. They have won three, drawn two and lost five in their opening 10 league matches.

They have proved hard to shift at home this campaign, conceding just five goals at home in all competitions, as well as picking up seven of their ten league points on home turf.

Back the Ladies in Oxford Sunday’s FA Cup second round tie is an early 12:00pm kick-off.

Tickets are available both on the day and via Oxford United’s official website, priced at £8 adults and £3 Under-18s.
