Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from last weekend's damaging defeat to Women's Super League table-toppers Chelsea when they travel to Villa Park to face Aston Villa on Sunday evening.
The Gunners' WSL title hopes were dealt a huge setback as they suffered a 3-1 defeat to the Blues at Stamford Bridge last Friday, leaving them six points behind the top two with only six games remaining in the 2023/24 season.
Jonas Eidevall's side will aim to dust themselves down and go again this weekend. They face an Aston Villa side eyeing back-to-back wins after beating Everton in their most recent outing.
The Lions are just three points behind sixth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, and a top-half finish would be deemed as a successful recovery after kicking off the 2023-24 campaign with five straight WSL defeats.
