Manager Renee Sleggers has made five changes to her starting lineup for tonight’s UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final play-off first leg.
Leah Williamson will return to the eleven alongside centre-back duo Laia Codina, who will replace Lotte Uben Moy and Steph Catley.
Kim Little will be replaced in midfield by Viktoria Perova, who will make her 400th appearance for Arsenal if she comes off the bench.
In the forwards, Frieda Mahnum will replace Alessia Russo, while Chloe Kelly will start in place of Beth Meade.
Six players maintain their positions: Daphne van Domselaar, Emily Fox, Katie McCabe, Mariona Caldenti, Caitlin Ford and Olivia Smith.
We face OH Leuven at 5:45pm (Japan time) and hope to take advantage of the tie ahead of next week’s second leg at Borehamwood. Tickets are on sale to the general public.
