Goalkeeper Anneke Borbe will make her debut in this afternoon’s pre-season friendly against Tottenham Hotspur.

Our summer signing has been selected between the sticks by Renee Slegers for today’s 3pm kick-off at Mangata Developments Stadium in Borehamwood.

That means Manuela Zinsberger is on the bench, while Daphne van Domselaar is not included in the matchday squad.

Arsenal supporters may get to see our other new recruits, Olivia Smith and Taylor Hinds, if they come off the bench.

Full-backs Emily Fox and Katie McCabe are either side of centre-back partners Lotte Wubben-Moy and captain Steph Catley, while Leah Williamson misses out through injury.

Kyra Cooney-Cross is alongside Victoria Pelova in midfield, with Mariona Caldentey ahead of them.

Alessia Russo starts up top between Beth Mead and Chloe Kelly on the wings.
