Aston Villa Women continue a busy month of March this Sunday when they face Chelsea at Kingsmeadow.
Carla Ward's side travel to South London to face the champions having suffered a pair of defeats to open the month.
Villa opened the month with a back-to-back at the Banks's Stadium but ultimately came away with nothing despite some encouraging displays.
Aurora Galli netted in the 80th minute to hand Everton all three points, before Maya Le Tissier's first-half opener proved to be the difference when Brighton & Hove Albion visited the West Midlands three days later.
The pair of results will have dented the confidence of the group heading into Sunday's clash against the Blues, but focus remains on achieving a positive result against the champions.
Villa have found facing Emma Hayes' side to be a tough task since returning to the top flight in 2020.
In four fixtures, we have been beaten on each occasion with goals particularly difficult to come by.
However, a positive performance in January's FA Cup fourth round tie may provide Ward and co. with reason to be optimistic.
Sunday's game is free and available to watch on the FA Player.
This weekend's hosts are Chelsea.
Unsurprisingly, Emma Hayes' side are once again challenging on several fronts as we approach the final stretch of the season.
Despite defeat to Manchester City in last weekend's Conti Cup final, Chelsea remain in this season's FA Cup while also hunting down Arsenal in the league.
Having overcome West Ham United on Thursday night, Chelsea are just five points behind the Gunners with two games in hand.
The title race looks set to go down to the wire, which means Villa can expect a fully-focused Chelsea side on Sunday afternoon.
