Sunday
FA Women’s Super League | Arsenal v City (Kick-off 18:45)
A bumper week draws to a close when City travel down to Meadow Park for a massive WSL clash on Sunday evening.
City have grabbed three points from our opening two matches of the new season but know victory over the Gunners would represent a huge statement of intent against Jonas Eideval’s side.
Arsenal sit joint-top of the WSL tree having picked up a hugely impressive opening day win over WSL holders Chelsea and Reading respectively, but our late 2-1 triumph from last season’s fixture will provide a confidence boost for Gareth Taylor’s side as we travel south.
You can follow all of the key moments via our dedicated matchday Twitter: @ManCityWomen, while a comprehensive match report, as well as the boss’ take on proceedings will also be available across the evening on mancity.com and our official app.
