'We want to keep raising the levels' - Powell.

Wednesday’s opponents sit fourth in the Women’s Super League and are 13 games unbeaten in all competitions.

“We’re really looking forward to the opportunity to go out and test ourselves against some of the top players,” said Powell.

“We’re all ready for the challenge especially after our game was called off on Sunday, we’re raring to go again.

“It will be a great challenge for our young group, especially as some of us haven’t had these kinds of experiences before.

“It’s importance for us to keep building momentum, building confidence, and getting minutes in our legs.

“We’re coming off the back of two wins but we’re demanding more of ourselves every time we play. We want to keep raising the levels and build on the last two outings.”

Lauren Smith’s side return to Ashton Gate for the third time this campaign, with another big crowd expected under the lights in BS3.

“Any opportunity to play in front of an increased crowd is something we’re going to relish, especially against opponents from the Women’s Super League,” the 22-year-old continued.

“I’m the type of player that loves a midweek game under the lights. It will be an exciting challenge and a fun game so I’m looking forward to it.

“With the growth of women’s football over the last few years and the success of the Lionesses at the Euros there’s been a lot of hype which is very well deserved.

“It will be a big spectacle at Ashton Gate with all the fans there and a great chance for us to test ourselves against one of the best sides.”
