Renee Slegers has sprung a surprise by opting for a front three of Mead, Smith and Foord with Russo behind for Arsenal’s WSL clash against Manchester City at Emirates Stadium this lunchtime.
Daphne van Domselaar starts in goal with a back four of Fox, Wubben-Moy, Catley and McCabe with Little and Mariona ahead of them. It looks as though Russo will play as a 10 with Foord upfront and Smith and Mead either side of her.
Stina Blackstenius is not in the squad, Leah Williamson is on the bench as is deadline day loan signing Bora Votikova.
