Aston Villa Women face another major WSL test
Villa have been handed a demanding start to the season.
Their opening game took them to Stamford Bridge, where Arroyo’s side earned a point against Chelsea despite coming under considerable pressure.
Villa started several summer arrivals in that match, with Akane Okuma making her competitive debut and Lucia Kendall captaining the team in the Aston Villa Women XI against Chelsea.
The official WSL match records confirm Villa secured a 1-1 draw after Chelsea had registered 35 attempts.
It represented a promising first competitive result for an extensively rebuilt Villa squad.
ReadAstonVilla previously examined how six summer signings transformed Arroyo’s Aston Villa Women squad ahead of the new season.
City will provide another significant examination.
They opened their campaign with a 3-1 victory over Birmingham City, with Bunny Shaw scoring twice as the defending champions began with three points.
The sides last met in March, when Villa held City to a 0-0 draw.
Another positive result on Sunday would give Arroyo’s new-look team an impressive start after facing Chelsea and Manchester City in successive matches.
