Villa to avenge 5-0 thrashing at hands of Belles

Doncaster Rovers Belles remain the only unbeaten side in the WSL 2 and will look to add another three points to their tally at home to Aston Villa on Saturday.

The Belles can move back in to first place in the league with a win over their Midlands opponents, after Reading knocked them off the top midweek with a draw against Oxford.

The promotion favourites will go in to the fixture confident, having already beaten Villa 5-0 at the beginning of April.

But Doncaster manager Glen Harris, has told fans that the team is fully ready for a strong contest and won’t be getting complacent.

“I know Villa will feel they have a point to prove following our last fixture, but I can assure supporters that we will be fully focused and not take anything for granted. 

“If I was the Villa manager, I’d be getting the side motivated to go and show what they can do after the last result, so we’ll expect that from them.”

Harris’ side were held to a 1-1 draw with Everton last time out and will be hungry for the victory this time around with Courtney Sweetman-Kirk looking to add to her four goals she as already scored in just five games.

Villa come in to the game off the back of a 2-0 away win at Oxford – their second triumph in the league so far this season.
