Chelsea will look to play into Kerr, using Keira Walsh to control the pace and create chances, while keeping a low block with support from James on the left. Aston Villa, currently eighth in the table but still within reach of sixth, will rely on Chastity Grant and Lucia Kendal to break quickly and create for Kirsty Hanson, aiming to keep a tight defensive shape.
The match promises tactical battles as both teams aim to secure a win and improve their standings in the Women’s Super League.
