Aston Villa Women secured a 2-0 victory over Burnley in the WSL Cup group stage on Wednesday. The win provides a timely boost ahead of a key Women's Super League fixture away to Everton this Sunday, a team currently sixth in the table.
The team built on their recent league form, which has seen them pick up three wins from their last five matches across all competitions. The clean sheet against Burnley will be particularly welcome for a side that has conceded 12 league goals while scoring only six this season, leaving them with a minus six goal difference. Their recent Women's Super League form shows three wins, one draw, and one loss from the last five, including that 2-1 win over Liverpool on Sunday 18 October where Chasity Grant scored the equaliser before a Grace Fisk own goal secured the points, and a 4-0 loss at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday 27 September.
Sunday's trip to Goodison Park represents a significant challenge against an Everton side sitting sixth in the table. Aston Villa's recent away form has been mixed, with a heavy defeat at Tottenham followed by a win at Nottingham Forest last month.
The squad's next match is against Everton Women at Goodison Park on Sunday, 25 October, with kick-off at 2pm local time. This league encounter comes after a run of recent results that also includes a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on Sunday 4 October and a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United on Wednesday 30 September.
