Chelsea Women go into the game top of the pile as they try to retain their WSL title. Attacker Lauren James was the key performer for the Lionesses during the international break and will be looking to take on the Gunner's defence today. Aussie superstar Sam Kerr withdrew from the Matildas squad due to a foot injury but is fit to start. However, skipper Mille Bright is still recovering from a knee injury.
Arsenal Women will have been delighted to see striker Beth Mead get some minutes for England. They need her goalscoring prowess as they continue to bounce back from what was, by their exceptionally high standards, a slow start to the WSL season in which they lost to Liverpool on the opening day and drew with Man Utd. They have also been knocked out of the Women’s Champions League already. Viv Miedema is back on the bench after a long absence with an ACL injury.
These games are always tight, highly competitive affairs. The equivalent fixture last season was a 1-1 draw, whilst the Blues won their home game 2-0.
Here's how they line up:
Arsenal: Zinsberger; McCabe, Ilestedt, Wubben-Moy, Catley; Pelova, Walti, Little; Mead, Russo, Foord
Chelsea: Chelsea: Berger; Perisset, Mjelde, Carter, Charles; Nusken, Cuthbert; Kaneryd, Fleming, James; Kerr
