Grace Fisk and Alejandra Bernabe lead separate Women's Super League statistical categories ahead of Liverpool's visit to Aston Villa. The club's October 17 Opta preview highlights Fisk's passing volume and Bernabe's completed dribbles.
Liverpool have seven points from five matches, their best return at this stage since collecting ten in 2023/24. Sunday's fixture at Keys Park is scheduled for 2pm BST, equivalent to 8pm in Vietnam.
Passing and dribbling figures
Fisk has attempted 450 passes and completed 416, both league-leading totals. Her 92.4 per cent accuracy ranks sixth among players who have attempted at least 200 passes.
Jenna Clark and Fisk have exchanged 113 passes, the highest combination total between two WSL players this season. These figures describe the opening rounds rather than a completed campaign.
Bernabe has completed fourteen dribbles. Among full-backs, her 55 carries are exceeded only by Arsenal's Emily Fox, who has 59.
Young line-ups and contrasting form
Liverpool and Villa have fielded the competition's two youngest starting elevens on average. Liverpool are also the only team yet to start a player older than 28.
The visitors have not conceded from a set-piece this WSL season, matching Chelsea and Arsenal. Since returning to the division in 2022/23, they have earned thirteen points against Villa, a total bettered only by their eighteen against Brighton.
Villa won this home fixture 3–0 last season but enter the new meeting without victory in nine league matches, recording three draws and six defeats. Those records supply pre-match context without determining Sunday's outcome.
