The visit of Birmingham is a chance for us to stretch our winning run in the WSL to seven, having won every league match since the narrow opening-game defeat against Arsenal.

We have won our previous six FA WSL matches, scoring 20 goals and conceding just twice. We last won seven in a row between October 2018 and January 2019.Birmingham, who parted company with manager Scott Booth on Friday, are second from bottom in the WSL having lost six of their seven matches in a winless start to their league campaign.Birmingham have won just one of their nine away WSL matches against the reigning champions (D2, L6), though that win was against Chelsea in the 2018/19 season.
