It comes in the end Jon Pepper left his role as academy and women’s technical director at the Imps, with Lee Mitchell still searching for his first win across the city.
Loughborough United vs Lincoln City:
Lincoln City go into Sunday’s game off the back of a 4-0 defeat to Worcester City at the LNER Stadium. Despite having the home crowd behind them at Lincoln’s main stadium, it was Worcester who further cemented their chances of survival in the league.
