How to watch and follow Aston Villa v Man Utd Women | 25 January

OPPOSITION WATCH

The Villans are currently sixth and lie six points behind United in the WSL table. They were knocked out of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup last Sunday, losing 2-0 away at Arsenal.

The return fixture at the Progress With Unity Stadium earlier this term ended in a 1-0 win for the Midlanders, courtesy of midfielder Miriael Taylor’s first-half goal.

Villa started the year with a tight 2-1 league win at home over Brighton & Hove Albion, with former United player Kirsty Hanson on the scoresheet.

The hosts will be without their captain, Rachel Daly and forward Chasity Grant, due to injury.

In the transfer window, Villa have added to their squad, signing Chelsea midfielder Oriane Jean-Francois and American fullback Jenna Nighswonger on loan from Arsenal.
