Arsenal Women have finally pinned down a date for their FA Women's Super League clash against Aston Villa, with the match now confirmed for Saturday, May 9 at Villa Park. The fixture has been shifted twice — originally scheduled for April 26, then moved to April 22 — as a result of Arsenal's continued involvement in the Champions League.
Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. and the match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Arsenal have also arranged subsidised buses for traveling supporters, according to Yahoo Sports.
The rescheduling leaves Arsenal with a compressed run-in to close out their domestic campaign. After the Villa Park trip, they will have just two league matches remaining: a home fixture against Everton on May 13 and a visit to Liverpool on May 16.
The tight turnaround underscores the challenges clubs face when balancing European and domestic commitments, but for Arsenal, having that problem at all is a sign of a successful season. Fans will be hoping the squad can maintain momentum across all fronts as the campaign enters its final stretch.
