OOH Lincoln Ladies boss Rod Wilson is confident his side will travel to Lancashire tomorrow with enough firepower to earn maximum points.

The Lady Imps are due to take on Preston in the Women's Premier League Northern Division, a task which now looks more difficult following Preston's 9-3 defeat of Newcastle last week.

The mid-table Lilywhites, who earned a 2-2 draw with OOH Lincoln Ladies, in the reverse fixture last October, will be full of confidence as they welcome Wilson's side to Bamber Bridge (2pm).

But with a reunited strike force of Jodie Michalska and Stacey Aisthorpe (pictured together below) ready to start the game, Wilson believes his third-placed side have the firepower to spark a victory.

Although Amanda Barr is still out, the return of versatile Melissa Cook and the addition of US import Brooke Johns means that competition for places is fierce.

"We are confident that our two strikers Stacey (Aisthorpe) and Jodie (Michelska) will both be able to start the game tomorrow," said Wilson.

"Stacey has been out, but last week she played for an hour with the reserve side and she has been able to train without any problems this week.

"She has missed a few weeks so we don't know whether she will last 90 minutes, but she will certainly start.

"Those two together carry a real threat for us up front and I am delighted to have them back together.

"But there are goals all over the side, from midfield and even from the players at the back.

"Lea Little plays at centre-half, but something seems to have clicked with her this season, because she has started firing in the goals.

"From set pieces, she can be very dangerous in the air, but she also has the skill to play football on the ground. She has been a very important player for us recently and at six feet tall is a real athlete."
