    Liverpool are very capable defensively.

    Villa will have to try something different if they want to break them down.

    Mayling had a tough first half against Hinds didn't she?

    So it is not surprising that she has been subbed for a more attacking player, Villa will be looking for Pacheco to drive things the other way down the pitch.

    She can defend but will add that attacking impetus for Villa too.

    Rachel Daly is massive for this Villa side.

    At times tonight she has been a little frustrated. She has been isolated, forced to come deep to win the ball and then there are no runners in behind for her to pick out.

    They really won't want to lose her to injury here.

    Emma Koivisto crosses in and Marie-Therese Höbinger unleashes an effort.

    Unlike the first half, she doesn't find the top corner and Daphne van Domselaar catches.

    Ebony Salmon has the ball take off her toes by Gemma Bonner.

    The substitute is certainly making her presence felt for the away side.

    I'm a real fan of Ebony Salmon. She is a strong runner, powerful, and can score goals.

    If Villa can get her linking up with Rachel Daly then it could be a great move for them heading into this second half.
