Arsenal Women v Aston Villa Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form

Arsenal Women host Aston Villa Women at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday 1st November, with kick-off set for 12.00pm UK time in the Women's Super League.

It's a London fixture with plenty riding on it given how tightly packed the table is in this part of the division. Arsenal currently sit 7th in the Women's Super League, with Aston Villa just below them in 8th, so there's little to separate the two sides heading into this one and three points would be valuable for either club looking to climb away from the lower reaches of the table.

Arsenal's recent WSL form reads DLLDW across their last five games, a run that has included defeats to Chelsea and Manchester City but ended with a win away at Spurs most recently. In all competitions, Arsenal have also been in Champions League action, drawing with Paris FC before beating Benfica, showing a side capable of good performances across different competitions.

Aston Villa arrive on the back of a stronger run of results, with their last five WSL games going DLDWW, featuring back-to-back victories over Liverpool and Everton in their last two outings. In all competitions, Villa's form has been even more encouraging, with wins also coming in the WSL Players Cup against Burnley and a draw with Birmingham City, giving them real momentum going into this trip to north London.
