Aston Villa host Arsenal at Villa Park in the FA Women’s Super League this evening. The match is live on Sky Sports at 18:45 and will be refereed by Stacey Pearson. Arsenal are looking to close the gap on Chelsea and Manchester City at the top of the table.
Carla Ward on us (source): “They’ll be hurting, so it’s the worst time to play them I think. I know it myself, when you have a game like that, there’s only one thing you want to do in that situation, you want to get straight back out there and put it right.”
Jonas Eidevall on Villa (source): “In the Conti Cup semi-final they played a back four in the first half and they played a back three in the second half, and they were consistent playing that against Everton. How will they start? How will they finish against us?”
