Almost 35,000 Gooners will descend on Emirates Stadium this Sunday as we face our latest challenge in the Barclays Women’s Super League: Aston Villa.
Victory over Carla Ward’s side in front of a roaring home crowd would well and truly kickstart our campaign.
Last time around
Our Gunners faced Aston Villa on three occasions last season, coming away as the victors twice. We came from behind to record a 4-1 win at Villa Park, before beating them 3-0 at Meadow Park on the way to lifting the Conti Cup trophy.
Our most recent league meeting, however, ended in defeat at the end of a long and gruelling season.
