Vivianne Miedema starts on the bench for her final Arsenal game against Brighton this afternoon at Meadow Park. Sabrina D’Angelo starts in goal for her final game for the club ahead of a likely move to Aston Villa.
Emily Fox starts at right-back with Leah Williamson and Steph Catley are centre-half and Katie McCabe at left-back. Victoria Pelova and Kyra Cooney-Cross are in the midfield double pivot.
Beth Mead and Caitlin Foord are the wide players with Kim Little starting behind Alessia Russo upfront. Stina Blackstenius is not in the squad but Arseblog News understands she has signed a new contract which should be announced next week.
14.D’Angelo; 2.Fox, 6.Williamson, 7.Catley, 15.McCabe; 21.Pelova, 32.Cooney-Cross; 9.Mead, 10.Little(c), 19.Foord; 23.Russo.

It’s a bit of a disgrace how she is being treated. Unless she is trouble behind the scenes but nothing about her indicates that to me. She has scored 125 goals and 50 assists in 172 games. How is letting her go moving the club on to be stronger?
Feeling more like this is about the manager than the player.
If she has recovered physically then it’s crazy for her to go. My guess is that she hasn’t.
My sense is that Miedema went along with Eidevall’s craziness for a while but relations between the two had deteriorated in recent months. As I’ve said, it was clear two years ago that Miedema needed to get away from the guy.
I here fa player is playing up again
Working for me.
