Come on Arsenal, got to try and take advantage of Chelsea’s slip-up yesterday. Pleased to see Iwabuchi starting and hope Maritz is ok.
Good luck, girls! Let’s take advantage of Chelsea’s loss yesterday.
Jonas Eidevall, well done for admitting mistakes and taking responsibility. Good luck to you, too.
Nice to see Iwabuchi on the pitch. Especially, after a misspent outing with Nadeshiko.
