Aston Villa Women v Liverpool Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form
Liverpool Women head to Keys Park on Sunday 18th October for a 2pm kick-off against Aston Villa in the Women's Super League, as the club continue to prepare for the resumption of league action following the recent fixture break.
There's plenty at stake for both sides. Liverpool currently sit sixth in the table with seven points from five games, while Villa are down in thirteenth having picked up just three points so far this season. A win for the Reds would help close the gap on the teams above them, while Villa will be desperate for a first league victory of the campaign.
Form-wise, Liverpool's recent results have been a mixed bag, with the sequence reading L-W-W-W-L across all competitions. That includes league wins over Everton and defeats to Manchester City and Manchester United, alongside Players' Cup victories against Sunderland and Birmingham City. Villa's form shows D-W-L-W-D, including a league draw with Crystal Palace, a heavy defeat to Tottenham, and two Players' Cup wins over Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.
In the league table itself, Liverpool's goal difference of +3 compares favourably with Villa's -7, with the Reds having scored nine and conceded six in their five WSL matches, against Villa's four scored and eleven conceded.
