Previous meeting

The two sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw when they last met one the opening day of the Barclays Women’s Super League season at the Emirates Stadium.

Frida Maanum opened the scoring for the hosts after eight minutes, but Vivianne Miedema drew City level having joined the Club from the Gunners in the summer.

Jess Park scored one of the goals of the season just before the hour mark with an outrageous half volley from outside the box, but the two sides had to settle for a point following Beth Mead’s late equaliser.

Last time out

City moved back into the WSL top three with a deserved 4-2 triumph over Aston Villa in our most recent fixture.

Vivianne Miedema bagged herself a first half brace, the second a stunning long-range effort as the Blues recovered from an early Chastity Grant goal.

The hosts drew level early in the second half when Laia Aleixandri diverted Kirsty Hanson’s cross into her own net, but goals from Mary Fowler and Jess Park sealed the points as City boss Gareth Taylor marked his 100th WSL game with a win.
