Beth Mead and Frida Maanum are back in the starting XI for today’s Barclays Women’s Super League clash with Aston Villa.
They replace Caitlin Foord and Stina Blackstenius for the 12pm kick-off at Emirates Stadium.
Katie Reid and Steph Catley remain the centre-back partnership following their impressive performances away to Manchester United last weekend, with Emily Fox and Katie McCabe at full-back and Daphne van Domselaar in goal as we look for back-to-back clean sheets.
Behind Maanum in midfield are Mariona Caldentey and captain Kim Little, as they look to support Olivia Smith and Mead out wide with Alessia Russo up top.
