We’ve Met Before

The two sides have met just once and that came in a pre-season friendly last season. Arsenal finished the game with a 4-0 victory.

Their goals came through Kim Little who netted a brace and also through Jennifer Beattie and Gemma Davison. In truth the game was closer than the score line suggested with Arsenal only really gaining the upper hand in the second half.
