The Women's Super League is back after a break, but what will we see in this weekend's games?
Can they keep up their good fortune? How will she be replaced by a new person? Is it possible that Manchester City can start their season againstLeicester?
There are five things to watch out for this weekend.
It's a bit odd to see Villa sitting ahead of two other teams that finished in the top three of the league last year.
After a 4-3 win against City in their opening match and a 2-0 victory overLeicester the following weekend, Villa went on to win the League Cup on penalties against Manchester United.
The manager of the month award went to Ward, while the player of the month went to Daly.
The biggest game of the season so far will be played on Sunday.
The team is similar to the one Paul Konchesky is about as a player.
They are fast and aggressive. There is a lot of experience in that group.
After announcing on Thursday that she would be taking some time away as she recovers from an emergency hysterectomy, she will not be in charge of the team for Sunday's match.
She had surgery last week as a result of her battle with the disease.
Paul Green, who is covering media duties, confirmed that Hayes would be involved in upcoming games.
She will be home to watch the training online. She will be on the bench on match days if she is well enough.
We don't know what to expect from the man.
The American, who has been a head coach in both the US and the Danes, has been an assistant manager at the English club since 2020.
Green said that "Denise is very detailed in her coaching, probably second to none in the way that she speaks to players individually and really goes through the individual analysis of players"
Manchester City, who finished third in the WSL last season, are currently third from bottom and are waiting for their first points of the season.
"I'm pretty confident that we can get that first victory on home soil," said Taylor.
I'm happy to be home. It's nice to get back in front of our fans after two tough away games.
Most of the time more supporters than the away supporters is what it gives you.
The side are hoping to get their first win of the season after they were denied a draw by an own goal.
"City will see this as an opportunity to take points but at the same time we're not here to roll over and get our bellies tickled."
The first games in the NWSL since an investigation found abuse had become systemic are this weekend.
In England's international friendly against the United States last week, Wembley's arch was lit in teal and both squad gathered in the middle before kick-off to show their support for the players.
The Lionesses showed their support for the players in the NWSL with a show of solidarity.
The players need to feel safe.
It is a job and you should be able to go to work and feel safe.
The report was "harrowing", according to the Spurs boss, and the United manager agreed.
Many professional women have been let down by a failed system that didn't support them through their careers.
English defender Maya Le Tissier has started and kept a clean sheet in both of Manchester United's first two WSL games. She scored two goals in the first game.
Both sets of managers have heaped praise on Le Tissier, who broke the record for the most appearances by a teenager in the WSL last season.
She's mature for her age but the best thing about her is that she's fun.
We're at the moment reaping the rewards of what we've done, and our job is to help continue that growth with her as well.
Hope Powell said that Maya is a lovely child. I messaged her after she scored and said "well done"
I hope she doesn't have a good game on Sunday.
