“I think it’s incredible to have the Joie Stadium as part of our club,” the England international explained.
“It shows the club’s ambition and what we want to do in women’s football.
“We want to keep pushing the game and I’m really proud of our club for doing that and to be a part of the moment.”
Gareth Taylor’s side went the entirety of the 2022/23 campaign without tasting defeat at the Joie Stadium, while our unbeaten home run in the WSL currently stands at an impressive 19 matches.
The visit of the reigning champions could prove our sternest test to date in front of a sellout crowd, though Greenwood and co. earned a deserved 2-0 victory in this fixture last time out.
Indeed, the England international is relishing the opportunity to step back out onto the pitch in a stadium which she relishes turning out at.

She said: “Playing at the Joie Stadium for me is home. I love being at home and with our fans.
