Reading and Bristol City will be hoping to collect a much needed three points when the pair meet at The Madejski Stadium this afternoon.
Kelly Chambers’ Royals have not won any of their last four Barclays FA Women’s Super League matches while visitors Bristol City are winless and propping up the Barclays FA Women’s Super League table.
Reading performed well in their latest Barclays FA Women’s Super League fixture, a 1-1 draw at Everton, and manager Chambers could opt to name a similar side to face Bristol City this afternoon. The Reading boss’ biggest headache is a lack of goals and if she does make changes, attacking pair Fara Williams and Lauren Bruton are those players most likely to come in.
Bristol City boss Tanya Oxtoby returns to the dugout this afternoon following a period of self-isolation. The Robins are not thought to have any new injury concerns, although the club remain without long-term absentee Amy Palmer.
Last season’s fixture came on Women’s Football Weekend ’19 and was a thriller. Reading led 3-1 at The Madejski Stadium before Bristol City staged a stunning fightback to claim a point in a 3-3 draw.
This afternoon’s Barclays FA Women’s Super League fixture between Reading and Bristol City is scheduled to kick-off at 2pm and will be available to stream live on the FA Player. Tickets remain on general sale until midday to fans living in Tier 2 areas who wish to attend.
