Lia Walti returns to the starting line-up for Arsenal’s Subway League Cup semi-final at home to Manchester City this evening, with Lotte Wubben-Moy retaining her place in the centre of defence. The move enables Mariona to play further forward.
Daphne van Domselaar keeps goal again with a back four of Fox, Williamson, Wubben-Moy and Catley, Lia Walti and Kyra Cooney-Cross play in the midfield double pivot. Russo and Mariona play on the flanks with Maanum behind Blackstenius upfront.
Kim Little is injured and Katie McCabe returns to the bench after serving her two match suspension. Caitlin Foord returns to the squad after a muscle niggle.
