Albion will be looking for their third win in the Subway Players Cup on Wednesday when they entertain WSL2 side Watford at the Broadfield Stadium, kick off 7.45pm.

The 6-0 victory over another second-tier team Wolves a fortnight ago lifted Arturo Ruiz’s side into seventh place in the league table with the top eight qualifying for the knockout stages.

Watford currently lie 20th of the 24 teams.

Team news

Nadia Krezyman made her first start since joining the club against Spurs on Sunday but isn’t ready to start against Watford. Coach Arturo Ruiz says she will be available for 30 minutes if necessary as she builds her minutes.

Arturo Ruiz’s thoughts …

"Finishing in the top four and playing at home in the quarter-finals will be really, really good. Tonight is a big opportunity. Next week we are going to London City, and then we play Southampton. Those are the three games we want to win. If we get the nine points we have left we are very optimistic, and it's absolutely our objective. We give the same respect to all our rivals, and we have a proper game plan for Watford."

The opposition

Watford currently lie seventh in WSL2 after Sunday’s 1-0 win over Leicester City, having been promoted last season.

It was a second successive league win for Renee Hector’s side which Vera Jones secured with a first-half goal.

Hector said: “It's been a long time coming - a performance like that and getting the result we deserved,” Hector said. "The clean sheet is important because we've been leaking goals.”

The Golden Girls have yet to win in the Players Cup, having lost 4-1 to Ipswich last time out. They were also beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace but did share four goals with Leicester earlier in the season.

Hector had seven seasons as a player with Watford, interspersed with spells at Charlton and Spurs. She led them to promotion from the Southern Premier Division as champions with a game to spare last season.
