Shocking Match Reschedule: Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Match Has Been Rescheduled

Shocking Match Reschedule: Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace Match Has Been Rescheduled…

Aston Villa boss Robert de Pauw is still waiting for his first

WSL victory after drawing three and losing four of his seven league games in charge.

As a result of their poor form, Villa are battling to secure their top-flight status,

with goal difference currently separating them from basement side Everton.

Despite being in a worrying position, the Villans

would have taken some confidence from the fact that they held Man United to a goalless draw in last Sunday’s away clash.

After claiming their first away point of the WSL season,

Villa will now turn their focus to Sunday’s home fixture,

where they will attempt to claim their first home

league victory since beating Brighton & Hove Albion in December 2023.

The hosts have already recorded a home victory over

Crystal Palace this season, with Kirsty Hanson and

Katie Robinson grabbing a goal apiece in last month’s League Cup group match.

Newly-promoted Palace are sitting one place above Villa after winning one,

drawing three and losing four of their seven WSL matches this season.

Laura Kaminski’s side began their first-ever WSL

campaign with heavy defeats against Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea,

before they got off the mark with a 2-0 away win over Leicester City.

Unfortunately for the Eagles, they have failed to add another victory to their tally,

having fallen to defeats against Brighton and Manchester City alongside draws with Liverpool and Everton.

They picked up their first home point of the season in last Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Everton,

but they would have been disappointed to miss out on all

three points after Indiah-Paige Riley’s first-minute opener was cancelled out by Honoka Hayashi’s 72nd-minute equaliser.

Palace will head on their travels for Sunday’s fixture

with the visitors looking to make it three away league games without defeat after taking four points from their last two road

The hosts are likely to be without the services of Rachel Corsie, Georgia Mullett and Jill Baijings.

Defender Lucy Parker is also expected to miss out after

she sustained an injury in last Sunday’s goalless draw with Man United.

after she was forced to sit out the draw with Leicester due to a knock.
