LAST TIME OUT

We suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in our last outing.

In what was our final match at the Joie Stadium in 2023/24, Lauren Hemp’s vicious first-half strike broke the deadlock.

But two late goals from the Gunners’ Stina Blackstenius flipped the match on its head and handed the visitors three points.

PREVIOUS MEETING

A Lauren Hemp brace saw City come from a goal down at the Joie Stadium to win 2-1 the last time we locked horns with the Villans.

Danielle Turner gave Carla Ward’s side the lead inside seven minutes, but quickfire second-half goals from the England international helped us to victory.
