Last updated : 06 February 2004 By Gary Hutchinson
Lincoln City ladies will be hoping to claim 3 points from their forthcoming clash at home against Manchester City Ladies. The Lady Imps have been out of action since a 3-1 FA Cup defeat at the hands of Leyton Orient on January 4th.

Megan Harris: Looking to help ease relegation worries
The Imps sit third from bottom of the Northern Premier League, but are 13 points off the bottom spot. Manchester City sit in mid table and will present a serious challenge to the City ladies.

City have seen four succesive matches called off, home to Wolves and Sheff Weds, and away at Sunderland and Bangor.

Manager Glen Harris will welcome back Goalie Nicola Hobbs and Defender Steph Spence for the clash, both ruled out since the FA Cup defeat.

The game is crucial for Hobbs, Lea Cobham and Katie Holtham, who are due due to link up with the England squad in the coming weeks.
