OXFORD United Women will look to put their FA Women’s National League Cup defeat behind them when they return to league action.
After a 1-0 quarter-final defeat to Crawley Wasps, United head to London Bees on Sunday and are still in with a chance of the National League Southern Premier title.
The U’s are second, five points behind Ipswich Town but with two games in hand.
Meanwhile, Southampton trail United by four points but have played three fewer games.

If United are to be crowned champions, their home form will be key as they remain unbeaten on home soil.
Against London Bees, United will hope to extend their six-game winning run in the league and banish the League Cup defeat.
Manager Liam Gilbert said: “We know where we can be better, and we know what we’ll work on as we build into another tough game.
“We aren’t going to get too high when we win, and we aren’t going to get too low when we lose.”
The Bees have won four of their past five league games, and sit fifth in the league.
However, United stunned them with a 5-1 win at the end of October.
Kick-off at The Hive Stadium is at 2pm.
