With the Premier League still dormant, awaiting the end of this seemingly interminable international break, we recommend you get your Sunday afternoon football fix by turning your attention to the WSL. Arsenal have, admittedly, not enjoyed a particularly good start to this season, winning only one of four league matches so far.
Nevertheless, backed by over 2,500 Gooners at the Etihad, they have the chance to get back on track against top of the table champions Manchester City. So, ahead of this huge fixture, find out the team Renée Slegers has selected.
Arsenal Women confirmed starting lineup vs Manchester City
- Anneke Borbe.
- Emily Fox, Leah Williamson, Lotte Wubben-Moy & Ona Batlle.
- Kim Little, Mariona Caldentey, Georgia Stanway & Kyra Cooney-Cross.
- Alessia Russo & Lisa Baum.
- Substitutes: Misa Rodríguez, Steph Catley, Caitlin Foord, Frida Maanum, Géraldine Reuteler, Stina Blackstenius, Selina Cerci and Smilla Holmberg.
Following a sequence of poor results, Slegers was expected to shake things up. However, the only change she has made from Wednesday night in Paris is in goal, with Misa Rodríguez dropping out and replaced by Anneke Borbe. Chloe Kelly misses out on a meeting with her former side due to injury.
Manchester City's confirmed starting lineup vs Arsenal
- Ayaka Yamashita

Last weekend was all about Katie McCabe's first meeting with Arsenal since moving to Chelsea. Well, similarly, Beth Mead will start against the side for whom she appeared 263 times, having moved this summer, while fellow former Arsenal fans' favourite Vivianne Miedema is on the bench.
