WSL: Arsenal v London City Lionesses

Doors open at 11a. Please share with anyone who might be interested.

Tides turning?

Arsenal return to WSL action following a much-needed 2-1 victory away to Liverpool, with Alessia Russo's brace securing three points and providing a welcome response to a frustrating run of results. Renée Slegers' side have endured an inconsistent opening to the campaign, with three wins, four draws and two defeats from their first nine league matches leaving them sixth in the table, six points behind their upcoming opponents. A tendency to drop points in matches where Arsenal have struggled to turn possession and chances into goals has made for an uncharacteristically uneven start. Sunday's victory offers an opportunity to build some momentum and begin closing the gap on the sides above them, but they'll need to be considerably more clinical against one of the league's early surprises.

London City Lionesses have continued to build on an impressive debut WSL campaign, which saw them finish sixth last season, and have taken another significant step forward this term. Currently third with 19 points from nine matches, Eder Maestre's side have won six, drawn one and lost two, scoring an impressive 24 goals along the way. Their attacking firepower has been on full display, with a 6-1 demolition of Tottenham and a 4-1 victory over Birmingham among their highlights. A narrow defeat to Manchester City earlier this month briefly interrupted their momentum, but they've bounced back emphatically. With an ambitious squad featuring Alexia Putellas, Kadidiatou Diani and Mary Earps, London City have established themselves as genuine contenders rather than simply making up the numbers.

With the men's team mired in their international break, there's no reason to go without your Arsenal fix. Start your Sunday with us at Dillon's for what should be an exciting WSL encounter!
