OXFORD United Women begin a big seven days when they visit Chichester & Selsey on Sunday.

The U’s travel to West Sussex for their second game in FA Women’s National League Southern Premier.

It is followed by the visit of MK Dons to Court Place Farm three days later and a trip to Portsmouth next Sunday.

United began the season with a 2-0 win over Gillingham last weekend, with Sarah King and Riva Casley on the scoresheet, and Liam Gilbert knows the next three matches will be a test.

The U’s manager said: “We’ve only been together as a group for six weeks.

“We’ve got to push ourselves heading into three games in seven days.”

Casley is confident United’s strength in depth will become clear as the games come thick and fast.

The defender said: “We have got relationships building all over the pitch.

“It’s not just the players that start, it’s also the players that come on and make a difference.”

Chichester began the season with a 4-0 defeat at Bridgwater United.
