Brighton Women v Watford Women preview: kick-off time, team news and form
Brighton Women host Watford Women at Broadfield Stadium on Wednesday 11th November, with kick-off at 7.45pm, as the WSL Players Cup group stage continues.
Brighton sit 7th in the Women's Super League, and the two sides go into this one at very different ends of their Players Cup group. Brighton have picked up six points from three games in the competition, while Watford have managed just two points from their three outings so far, so there's a clear gap between the two in the group standings heading into this meeting.
Form-wise in the Women's League Cup, Brighton have gone WLW across their last three outings, beating Charlton 4-0 at home, losing 0-1 to Spurs at home, and then thrashing Wolves 6-0 away from home. Watford's recent Players Cup form reads LDL, having lost 0-1 away at Crystal Palace, drawn 2-2 at home with Leicester, and then lost 1-4 at home to Ipswich in their last outing.
Looking more broadly, Brighton's run in all competitions has been LWWWL - a loss away at Manchester City, before wins over West Ham, Wolves and Crystal Palace, followed by a defeat away at Tottenham Hotspur in their most recent fixture. Watford's form in all competitions across their last five has been WLLWL, including an FA Cup win over Saltdean United before a mixed run of results in the Players Cup and FA Cup.
On the team news front, The Argus reports that Brighton's Poland forward Nadia Kreyzman is in line to feature for up to 30 minutes against Watford (The Argus). Kreyzman made her delayed debut for the club as a substitute during Sunday's WSL defeat at Tottenham, and this run-out against Watford looks set to be another step up in her minutes as she builds towards full fitness (The Argus).
With Brighton sitting well clear of Watford in the Players Cup group table, there'll be an expectation of home advantage playing its part at Broadfield Stadium, though cup football has a habit of throwing up surprises regardless of league position.
Kick-off is 7.45pm on Wednesday 11th November at Broadfield Stadium.
