Arsenal Women prepare for Aston Villa clash following recent victories

Arsenal Women are seeking a third consecutive victory as they prepare to host Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium. Following a 2-1 win against Tottenham in the North London derby and a 3-0 Champions League win over Benfica, manager Renée Slegers has emphasized the need for consistency.

Slegers noted that while the recent improvements are positive, the team must prove they can sustain this form. The upcoming match against Aston Villa, led by Brian Sørensen, presents a challenge as Villa undergoes a transition with a new coaching system.

Arsenal faces several injury concerns. Katie Reid is expected to miss at least the remainder of the year due to an ankle injury. Other players currently sidelined include Mariona, Agyemang, Kelly, and Cerci. Alessia Russo, who recently scored a hat-trick against Benfica, remains a key figure for the squad.
