Arsenal Women host Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday in the Women's Super League. The Gunners are looking to build on a perfect start to the league season that has them sitting fourth with three points from one game.
That opening win came last weekend away at Brighton, secured by a 10th-minute goal from L. Baum. It continued a strong run of form for the side, who have now won their last three matches in all competitions. Those victories include a 3-2 win over Corinthians W and a 6-0 thrashing of FAR Rabat W earlier this year.
Team news and selection
Arsenal's starting lineup against Brighton featured Misa in goal behind a back four of E. Fox, L. Williamson, S. Catley and O. Batlle. The midfield was anchored by K. Little and G. Stanway, with O. Smith, M. Caldentey and L. Baum supporting striker A. Russo. That settled side is likely to form the basis of the selection against Palace.
Crystal Palace arrive in north London after a 1-0 home win over Everton W last weekend. Their lineup that day included P. Peyraud-Magnin in goal, with a defence of J. Napier, A. Everett, M. Bartrip and T. Goldie. S. Hopcroft, F. Tsunoda and S. O’Brien formed the midfield, supplying forwards A. Blanchard, L. Lloyd-Smith and B. England.
The context
With a 1-0 victory last time out, Arsenal's goal difference stands at +1 for the new WSL campaign. The club's recent form shows three wins from three, a run they will be eager to extend in front of their home supporters.
