Aston Villa vs Leicester City preview
Aston Villa will be looking to build on their first WSL win of the season when they face Leicester City on Sunday.
Kirsty Hanson and Lynn Wilms scored in a 2-0 victory over West Ham to give Villa their first three points.
They are eighth in the standings on five points but have played one game fewer due to the postponement of their clash with Liverpool.
Their opponents on Sunday are Leicester City, who have four points from their opening five games.
The Foxes have struggled for goals but have shown a lot of fight in the WSL so far this season.
After beating Liverpool despite going down to 10 players, they lost by one goal to both Chelsea and Tottenham.
Last week, Noemie Mouchon scored an 81st-minute equaliser to give the Foxes a share of the spoils against Everton.
The Foxes will be hoping to spring a surprise when they face Aston Villa on Sunday.
