Aston Villa Women v Manchester United Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form
Aston Villa Women host Manchester United Women at Villa Park on Sunday 8th November, with kick-off set for 12.00pm UK time in the Women's Super League.
There's plenty at stake in the Midlands as both sides look to build momentum. Aston Villa currently sit 9th in the WSL table, while Manchester United are up in 5th, so the visitors will arrive with the upper hand on paper, but recent form suggests this one could be tighter than the league positions imply.
Aston Villa's recent WSL form reads LDWWD across their last five matches. That run started with a heavy 4-0 defeat away at Spurs, before a draw with Crystal Palace, back-to-back wins over Liverpool and Everton, and most recently a 1-1 draw away at Arsenal on 1st November. In all competitions, Villa have been in even better shape, going WWWWD across their last five outings, a run that also took in WSL Players Cup wins over Burnley and a draw with Birmingham City.
Manchester United head into this fixture on the back of a WWWDD sequence in the WSL. Wins over West Ham, Liverpool and Charlton Athletic were followed by draws with Manchester City and, most recently, a goalless draw away at Everton on 31st October. That unbeaten stretch of five games will give United plenty of confidence travelling to Villa Park.
In the league standings, Villa have won 2, drawn 4 and lost 2 of their 8 games, with a goal difference of -5, while United have won 3, drawn 3 and lost 2 from 8 matches, sitting on a goal difference of -2. Both sides have shown they can score goals but have also had defensive frailties this season, which could make for an open contest.
No team news or injury updates have been confirmed ahead of this fixture.
The match kicks off at 12.00pm UK time on Sunday 8th November at Villa Park.
