The Gunners ladies are gearing up to host The Lions at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday. Heading into the third round of the Women’s Super League 2023/24, both teams are eager to secure their first win of the current campaign.
Having secured only one point, Arsenal WFC will be determined to kickstart their season with a win against Villa. The Gunners lost to Liverpool in their season opener and then got a subsequent draw against Man United. They also crashed out after losing their UWCL 23/24 qualifying match to Paris FC.
Aston Villa women are winless in the league this season, losing their first two games to Man United and Liverpool. They sit at the eleventh spot among the 12 competing teams in the league and will also seek positive results.

British football bookies favor Arsenal women to win with a low odd of 1.28 (2/7). The bookmakers have placed the odds at 8.50 (15/2) for a victory by Aston Villa women; meanwhile, the odds for a draw stand at 5.00 (4/1).
The journey for Arsenal Ladies to clinch their 4th Super League crown this season has hit some early bumps. The team faced a setback with a narrow loss to Liverpool and drew 2-2 with Man Utd. Securing a victory would significantly elevate the team’s morale. Arsenal’s new star striker, Alessia Russo, will be keen on netting her debut WSL goal for the Gunners in this upcoming match.
Aston Villa Ladies have not won the Super League title since its inaugural season in 2011. They finished in the 5th position last season and will aim to improve this year. The club suffered two successive defeats in their first two league matches after losing 2-1 to Manchester United and 2-0 to Liverpool.
Both teams have met seven times in female football, with Arsenal Women winning five, drawing once, and losing once. Last season, in the final set of matches, Aston Villa Ladies celebrated a 2-0 victory, marking their first win against Arsenal.

Both squads have faced challenges in their opening league games this season. As a result, we expect to see a keenly contested affair. While Arsenal women may possess an edge over Aston Villa women, they still have defensive lapses. So far, the Gunners have let in three goals in two games this season, suggesting they might be vulnerable at the back. Hence, both sides will likely find the back of the net during this encounter.

Beth Mead has made significant progress, joining Arsenal ladies for a full training session this week. She’s nearing her comeback from the ACL injury she suffered last November.
