Team Northumbria take on Manchester Thunder from Sport Central in Newcastle in round five of the Superleague, live on Sky Sports 2 & Sky Sports Mix.
The Black and Yellows will be hoping to make it a hat-trick of wins which could take them up to fourth spot on Monday night.
But Thunder could find themselves nine points behind league leaders Loughborough Lightning if they lose in the North East and will look to avoid dropping points.
Thunder coach Karen Greig believes her team are still improving and head to bottom side Northumbria looking for maximum points.
"Everything we do we look to build week in week out. It's always good to have local rivalry with Northumbria so we'll be looking to push on and build on our confidence and move forwards," said Greig.
New signing Bea Skingsley earned her first Player of The Match award in the victory over Celtic Dragons at the Thunderdome and has proven a real success for Thunder.
The defender is now relishing the contest with Northumbria and is determined to keep the momentum going.
"I'm trying to focus on what I've been learning in training and bringing that to matches.
"I've enjoyed working with Emma (Dovey) and bringing the ball through court.
"We want to keep the winning run going and momentum is very important. We want to put out a consistent performance against Northumbria."
