Previous Meeting

This will be the first meeting between the two sides in professional competition.

Last time out

A stoppage time strike from Tobin Heath denied City all three points in a pulsating FA Women's Super League clash.

The Arsenal substitute stole a yard inside the City area and fired back across goal to salvage a point for the league leaders.

Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw's effort midway through the second half looked to have been enough to give Gareth Taylor's side what would've been a deserved victory on the balance of play.

But despite City's best efforts, spearheaded by an inspired display from young stopper Khiara Keating, hopes of a statement three points were dashed in the final moments.
