Preview: Portsmouth (H).

Bristol City are on home soil for the first time this campaign as they welcome Portsmouth to The Robins High Performance Centre on Sunday, September 14th (3pm).

Charlotte Healy will be looking for a response from her side after last week’s 5-1 defeat to Birmingham, in which City’s only goal came through Maria Farrugia.

Farrugia is one of thirteen players who are in contention to make their competitive home debut for The Robins at the HPC, including captain Vicky Losada, who was one of a number of senior leaders Healy has called upon to help the team bounce back from the opening day defeat.

“They’ll be really important (the leaders), we have to keep perspective… We have to learn, but it wasn’t all negative,” said Healy in her post Birmingham interview.
