Both clubs are next due to be in Barclays FA Women’s Super League action next weekend with Aston Villa hosting Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday and Arsenal facing Manchester City at Meadow Park next Sunday.
A new date for Aston Villa’s Barclays FA Women’s Super League fixture against Arsenal will be agreed between the two clubs in due course.
