Liverpool are the visitors to Poundland Bescot Stadium on Sunday as Aston Villa’s Barclays WSL campaign continues.

Carla Ward’s team take on the Reds in WS1 having won at Tottenham Hotspur before the international break.

Sunday marks our dedicated Level Playing Field fixture. Level Playing Field offers support, information and advice on a range of topics around disabled spectators access and this is offered to spectators, Clubs, Disabled Supporter Association’s, NGO’s and other interested parties.

Villa supporters will be able to read a Q&A with one of our disabled season-ticket holders inside this weekend’s matchday programme, while more information on Level Playing Field’s initiative can be found here.

We are proud to also be celebrating International Women’s Day and their 2024 theme #InspireInclusion.

We support celebrating women’s achievements, raising awareness about discrimination and that football belongs to everyone, everywhere.

Birmingham City Council are currently running an Inform Women, Transform Lives campaign and you can watch their campaign video here.
