Brighton & Hove Albion Women will play Charlton Athletic Women in the WSL Cup group stage on Wednesday, 23 September, at The Broadfield Stadium. The match kicks off at 18:45 UTC as Brighton aim to build on a recent upturn in form.
They are unbeaten in their last three outings, with two draws and a win. That run includes a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa Women last weekend, where Grace George opened the scoring in the 31st minute. The team will be looking to convert those draws into a victory in the cup competition.
Manager Mikey Harris is expected to have a strong squad available for selection. The team that drew with Birmingham City Women earlier this month featured a mix of experience and youth, with Fran Kirby providing an assist for Kiko Seike's late equaliser in that 2-2 result.
Charlton Athletic Women, who play in the Championship, have lost their last two matches against WSL opposition. They were defeated 1-0 by Everton Women in their most recent fixture. After this cup tie, Brighton's next fixture is a Women's Super League match away to Tottenham Hotspur Women on Sunday, 27 September. Brighton's full upcoming schedule, including this cup tie, can be found on our fixtures page. The team will hope a positive result can provide momentum for the next phase of the season.
