BIRMINGHAM City Ladies head to rivals Aston Villa on Sunday for a League Cup tie at Sutton Coldfield Town's Coles Lane base.
And they will be hoping to lift their game after a 4-1 defeat at Blackburn Ladies, despite midfielder Heather Scheuber handing them the lead.
Headless Cross Ladies ran out 3-2 winners at home to Dudley United.
Mandy Ellicott scored her side's opener from the spot with keeper Lisa Paronuzzi slotting in a second penalty after the break. Player of the match Lisa Robins headed the winner.
Redditch United Ladies lost 1-0 at Marston Green although Lianne Cooper was inches away from equalising midway through the second half.
