Match Preview: AFC Greenwich Borough v Brentford Women in the League Cup

Brentford Women begin their League Cup campaign away to AFC Greenwich Borough on Sunday afternoon at GB10 Sports Ground (2pm kick-off GMT).

The second-round tie begins a run of two cup games for Carly Williams’ side, before three league fixtures round off 2026.

The west Londoners have started the 2026/27 campaign with a bang, going unbeaten in 13 games across all competitions, with 11 of those being wins.

Wiktoria Kiszkis and Ashley Cheatley have starred up front with 13 and 17 goals respectively, while Lucy Potter and Makeba Black have led the way in the backline, appearing in every game this season and picking up five clean sheets along the way.

Last time out

The Bees continued their run at the top of the London and South East Premier table last time out with a 3-0 win over Millwall away from home.

After a goalless first half, Williams’ side kicked into gear in the second 45 minutes, with Katie Gilligan slotting her fourth goal of the season before substitute Kiszkis added a brace late on.

The win ended a successful seven days for Brentford, who also defeated Ashford Town (Middlesex) 3-1 during the week, following a 3-0 FA Cup win over tier four side Dartford on 25 October.
