Charlton Athletic ‘super-excited’ for London City Lionesses clash says Hills

Charlton Athletic head coach Karen Hills expressed her team's excitement to face the London City Lionesses in an upcoming Women's Super League match. The Addicks will host The Pride at The Valley on Saturday afternoon. Hills noted that London City Lionesses have evolved significantly since their previous encounter, boasting a strong depth of talent.

However, Hills and her players remain enthusiastic about the challenge. She emphasized the significance of playing at home with a vibrant crowd supporting them. Despite being unlucky to fall 1-0 to Everton last week due to an own goal and two red cards, Hills expressed confidence in Charlton Athletic's defense. She stated that the team was solid even with 10 players and defended effectively.

Hills attributed their improved performance to lessons learned from previous matches. She also mentioned that suspensions for Ashleigh Neville and Hawa Cissoko are a setback, but other players are prepared to step up. Charlton Athletic's next Barclays Women's Super League game against London City Lionesses starts at 12:30pm on Saturday.
