MatchLFC Women v Aston Villa: Seven stats to know ahead of WSL meeting

The Reds return to St Helens Stadium in a 2pm BST kick-off – check out the key facts and figures provided by Opta ahead of the encounter below…

Liverpool have won each of their last three WSL games against Villa, winning this fixture last season 2-0.

Villa, though, have lost on just one of their last six away trips to Merseyside in the WSL (drawn one, lost one), last winning away to Liverpool in the competition in November 2022 (1-0).

Liverpool have won each of their last three WSL home games, last winning four in a row on home soil in October 2014.

Villa have lost each of their last six WSL games – the last two sides to suffer that many consecutive defeats in the same season were Bristol City in May 2024 (nine) and Reading in May 2023 (six), both of who were relegated to the Championship.

Villa are winless in each of their last eight WSL away games (drawn two, lost six), with three different managers leading them into a game on the road since a 1-0 win at Brighton under Carla Ward in May 2024 (Robert de Pauw, Shaun Goater and Natalia Arroyo).

Villa manager Arroyo has lost each of her five WSL games in charge by an aggregate score of 13-1; the only manager in the competition's history to lose each of their first six matches while also seeing their side net just a single goal is Emma Coates with Doncaster Rovers Belles in 2016.

No player has scored more goals against Liverpool in the WSL than Villa's Jordan Nobbs (10).
