Aston Villa captain Rachel Corsie has urged her team to make the most of their momentum ahead of what promises to be thrilling end to the season.
Also captain of Scotland, Corsie is out of their two internationals next week with a knee issue and faces a race to be fit for the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea. But her performances have helped Villa to a breakthrough season in the WSL, with Carla Ward’s team firmly establishing themselves as the ‘best of the rest’ behind the top four title contenders, with a game against Chelsea in the league coming this Sunday, which Corsie will sit out.
The Midlands club sit only six points behind Arsenal in fourth and dumped Man City out of the FA Cup in the last round, thanks to a Rachel Daly winner. Corsie has proven a key signing since joining in February 2022 and believes Villa can continue to push the established elite for the rest of the season, with the league set for a thrilling climax.
