At a Glance

Aston Villa Women come into their final group game of the FA Women's Continental League Cup reeling from defeat in the Second City derby on Saturday.

Having experienced a resurgence of sorts against Brighton & Hove Albion and Coventry United, Villa were left to rue a missed opportunity at the weekend when Claudia Walker's strike was enough to give the Blues all three points.

Gemma Davies and co. have the chance to bounce back immediately, and in the meantime qualify for the knockout stages of the Conti Cup for the second straight season.

Nadine Hanssen

Durham, meanwhile, will have other ideas on Thursday night.

The hosts currently sit top of the FA Women's Championship and are unbeaten in eight league games thus far.

They will also be determined to emerge as victors of Group A, knowing a win will secure their own passage to the knockout stages.

These two sides met once last season in the Championship, before the campaign's curtailment.

Nadine Hanssen netted in the second half to cancel out a Nicki Gears strike as the sides shared the spoils.
