Villa Park opens its doors for more Barclays WSL action this weekend, as Aston Villa Women take on Reading.
Carla Ward’s side, fresh off a win over Liverpool last time out, take on Kelly Chambers' Royals on Sunday, November 20 (ko 2pm).
In addition to what promises to be a great game of football, there will also be plenty of entertainment at Villa Park on matchday.
Here’s all you need to know…
The Match
Aston Villa Women come into Sunday's game against Reading having risen to sixth in the WSL table last time out.
Rachel Daly's second-half penalty was enough to secure three points at Prenton Park against Liverpool, and eyes will be firmly set on three more points this time around.
Villa face a Reading outfit that have been struggling for points in the early stages of the 2022/23 season, despite picking up a recent victory against Leicester City to alleviate some pressure.

Tickets for Sunday's fixture cost just £5 for under-14s and £10 for adults, and they’re available to purchase via the link below.
