READING FC WOMEN will be looking to extend their run of five consecutive Women’s Super League wins when they face Brighton & Hove Albion.
Kelly Chambers’ team have set a new club record of five league wins on the bounce after their remarkable late turnaround at Everton.
That result lifted them above Manchester City and up to fifth in the table, just three points outside of the Champions League qualification places.
Hope Powell’s Brighton side have been in poor form ahead of Sunday’s match with four defeats and one draw from their last five.
The South Coast side made a flying start to the 2021/22 campaign but have since dropped down to eighth.
After earning an impressive goalless draw at home to Cheslea, the Seagulls have lost three in a row in all competitions, with league defeats to Arsenal and Tottenham.
Meanwhile they exited the FA Cup in the fourth-round after they lost out to Reading in an entertaining cup tie.
The Royals went two goals in front through Justine Vanhaevermaet and Deanne Rose only to be pegged back by Emma Koivisto and Kayleigh Green.
But Tia Primmer popped up with the winner just seven minutes from time to see Reading through.
Reading also got the better of Brighton when the teams met at the Select Car Leasing Stadium in the WSL back in November.
Natasha Dowie gave her a team an early lead before Emma Harries sealed the points late on.
