Renée Slegers has made two changes to the starting XI for this afternoon’s Barclays Women’s Super League game with Manchester City.
In goal, Daphne van Domselaar replaces Anneke Borbe, who went off injured in last Sunday’s FIFA Women’s Champions Cup final.
Elsewhere, Caitlin Foord comes into the line-up ahead of Stina Blackstenius, and new signing Barbora Votikova is on the bench for the first time.
That means the back four and midfield remain unchanged, while Beth Mead, Olivia Smith and Alessia Russo join Foord in the attack.
### LINE-UP
**Arsenal XI:** Van Domselaar, Fox, Wubben-Moy, Catley, McCabe, Little (C), Mariona, Russo, Mead, Foord, Smith
Substitutes: Votikova, Williams, Codina, Williamson, Holmberg, Harwood, Pelova, Maanum, Kelly
