Saints come into Sunday's test after an impressive victory against high-flying Charlton last weekend.
Tara Bourne's late finish capped off a resilient away performance at The Valley, and ensured the Barclays Women's Championship table remains as tight as ever.
Despite still sitting in sixth place, Remi Allen's side are just three points off the top of the league table, with games in hand on a couple of sides above them.

Durham have enjoyed a strong start to the season themselves and sit in third place in the league, with five wins and just two defeats from their opening seven matches.
After a defeat on derby day against Sunderland, they returned to winning ways in their most recent fixture with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Blackburn on the road.
PREVIOUS MEETING
In this fixture last season, Saints took all three points thanks to a brace from Rianna Dean at AFC Totton's Snows Stadium.
The game was decided in the first half, as Dean's brace came either side of an equaliser from Eleanor Ryan-Doyle.
