Aston Villa Women are right back in WSL action this Wednesday, as they welcome Chelsea to Banks's Stadium.

The Villans have had a tough run of results in recent weeks, but will be buoyed by Saturday's comeback draw against Reading.

Villa came from behind on two occasions, including a stoppage-time equaliser through Diana Silva, and will now have some renewed confidence going into the next stretch of games.

Chelsea

Wednesday's visitors are undoubtedly one of the powerhouses in the division.

Emma Hayes' Chelsea side, who won the WSL title last season, yet again have top spot well within their grasp, and will look at games against bottom-half teams as potential momentum-builders.

This will be the first meeting between these sides during the current campaign, following the postponement of the initial fixture back in October.

We did, however, meet the Blues last season the quarter-finals of the FA Women's Continental League Cup. Chelsea won the tie 3-1.

Last Time Out

Holocaust Memorial Day

Wednesday will mark the UK's Holocaust Memorial Day.

The day will give people the chance to reflect on what those before them had to experience and endure during World War II.

It also gives us an opportunity to stand against prejudice and hatred that still exists today.

The team will be wearing black armbands in our fixture versus Chelsea.

You can also get involved in the fight against prejudice and hatred by using #LightTheDarkness and #HolocaustMemorialDay on social media.
