Liverpool Women's boss Matt Beard has said his side can "kick-start" their season with a win against Aston Villa ahead of a crucial run of fixtures in the Women's Super League.
The Reds have won just one of five games on their return to the top flight, but their poor run of form is somewhat mitigated by the fact they have started their campaign with games against four of last season's top five. Liverpool currently sit in tenth place, and will look to climb up the table when they welcome Aston Villa to Prenton Park on Sunday.
The Villans have endured a mixed start to the season, and have suffered three consecutive defeats after triumhping over Manchester City and Leicester in September. The visit of Carla Ward's side marks the start of a kinder run of games for Liverpool, with the Reds set to take on Brighton, Reading and West Ham after the upcoming international break.
