Team News Arsenal
Lotte Wubben-Moy and Daphne van Domselaar did not travel to Real Madrid for the Women’s Champions League match. We expect a squad update later today.
What the coach has to say:
Renée Slegers is yet to give a pre-match press conference. After the defeat against Real Madrid, she said:
“I think performances and results can be a big motivator to try and do things better next time, so there’s definitely a lot of key learnings from this game and we see all the potential opportunities to perform better in the home game.
“It’s only half-time. It’s 2-0 to Real Madrid at the moment but we’re going to play against them again at the Emirates and we’ll have to believe that we can score two goals with the fans behind us.”

Squad update by Amber Whiteley after a few players were out with sickness last week:
“All good on that front. All the players who were out with sickness were back in training on Tuesday. So, we are all good on that front.”
What the coach has to say:
On the win against Manchester United and the confidence in the team: “I thought the performance was really good on Friday night Anfield. We are definitely in a good place.
“Confidence wise, we are going to this Arsenal game in a good spot. The hard work is continued this week. We will be ready for an improved Arsenal, then what we’ve met in the FA Cup. We’ve got to raise our game on Saturday.”
Will there be a different plan against Arsenal: “We expect an improved Arsenal from the FA Cup game. They will have been disappointed with their performance. We’ll need to be ready to up our levels on Saturday. But I think it’s about refining and going into the real detail from what happened in that game: the good things and what we need to be better at.”

Arsenal vs Liverpool: Previous Meetings & Stats
Arenal and Liverpool face off at the Emirates Stadium this Saturday. The Gunners have little time to recover from the defeat in the Women’s Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. Slegers and her side have a score to settle with Liverpool as they defeated them in the Women’s FA Cup quarter-final.
For Liverpool, things have been going well in the past three weeks since Whiteley took over. She’s built on Matt Beard’s foundations and secured three wins. Liverpool may not be in contention for a top-three spot, but the head coach is aiming to climb the table. They are also still in the Women’s FA Cup and face Chelsea next month.
The last time Arsenal secured a home win over Liverpool in the Women’s Super League was on the 8th of March 2023. The Gunners cannot afford to lose any more points in the WSL, as they still feel that they are in the title race and must secure Women’s Champions League football next season.
