Jenna Nighswonger makes her debut for Arsenal at left-back for today’s FA Cup 5th Round tie at home to London City Lionesses. Katie McCabe comes back into the team at on the wing and Manu Zinsberger starts in goal.
Zinsberger has a back four of Reid, Codina, Wubben-Moy and Nighswonger ahead of her, with Kyra Cooney-Cross and Mariona in the midfield double pivot. Caitlin Foord and Katie McCabe play on the flanks with Russo upfront and Maanum in the 10 position.
Beth Mead is not in the squad due to a calf strain, which kept her from coming on on Thursday evening. Rosa Kafaji is not in the squad, we will try to find out why.
