London City Lionesses Women v Palace Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form
Palace Women make the trip across the capital to Bromley on Wednesday 28th October, with kick-off at the RELOC8 EM Community Stadium set for 7.00pm. It's a WSL Players Cup League Phase clash against London City Lionesses, and both sides go into it from the same Group A.
There's plenty riding on this one for Palace. Sitting fifth in the Players Cup group standings on six points from three games, a win away at London City would be a timely boost, especially with Palace currently 13th in the Women's Super League table. London City, by contrast, have made a perfect start to their cup campaign and currently top Group A on nine points from three games unbeaten.
In terms of League Cup form, London City have been flying - their last three Women's League Cup outings have all ended in wins, a run that reads WWW with victories away at Leicester, Ipswich and West Ham. Palace's cup form has been more mixed: WWL across their last three, with wins over Watford and Charlton sandwiching a narrow defeat away at Southampton.
Zooming out to form in all competitions, London City have been in excellent shape, with a run of WWWWD across their last five matches including a big win at Tottenham and a draw at Liverpool. Palace's all-competitions form has been tougher going, with a WDLLL sequence that includes defeats to West Ham, Southampton and Chelsea sandwiched around a draw at Aston Villa.
The goal difference columns tell their own story too - London City have scored five and conceded just one in the Players Cup so far, while Palace have netted six but shipped three, with that defeat at Southampton denting their own record.
On team news, there's nothing further to report at this stage beyond what the sides have shown in recent weeks - both will be looking to field strong line-ups given what's at stake in the group.
Kick-off at the RELOC8 EM Community Stadium is 7.00pm UK time on Wednesday 28th October.
