Preview: Arsenal Women v Aston Villa

Our defence of the FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup continues as we host Aston Villa in the semi-finals at 7.15pm on Wednesday.

After beating Chelsea to win the competition last season, this term we earned 11 points from four games to top Group D, before eliminating London City Lionesses in the quarter-finals.

Victory against Villa would set up a final against either Manchester City or Chelsea, depending on the outcome of Thursday night’s clash between those two sides.

The view from Villa

It’s been a mixed season so far for Carla Ward’s side, who began 2023/24 with five defeats on the bounce in the Barclays Women’s Super League.
