Arsenal’s 2023-24 campaign began in disastrous fashion after their elimination from the Champions League qualifying stages was followed by a sluggish start to the WSL season.
The Gunners suffered an opening-day defeat to Liverpool, before they left it late to salvage a draw against Manchester United.
After taking just a single point from their first two league games, Arsenal finally instilled some much-needed impetus into their campaign with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Aston Villa thanks to stoppage-time efforts from Katie McCabe and Alessia Russo.
McCabe proved to be a key player in Arsenal’s final match before the international break, netting a brace to guide Jonas Eidevall’s side to a narrow 2-1 win over newly-promoted Bristol City.
While Arsenal currently reside in seventh position, a third consecutive victory would see them move level on points with Sunday’s opponents, who are currently leading the way in the WSL.

After missing out on the top three last term, Man City have made a purposeful start to the current campaign, having won four and drawn one of their opening five games across all competitions.
They kicked off the WSL season with a win over West Ham United and a draw against Chelsea, before they began their League Cup campaign with a 2-1 victory in their away meeting with Everton.
The Citizens returned to league action with a dominant 5-0 win over newly-promoted Bristol City, and Chloe Kelly ensured Man City carried significant momentum into the international break after she scored the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory against Leicester City.
As a result of their fine form, Man City are currently sitting top of the WSL table, courtesy of their superior goal difference compared to second-placed Chelsea.
With the Citizens dreaming of winning their second WSL trophy, Sunday’s encounter against a top-quality Arsenal side represents a great opportunity to lay down a marker as viable title contenders.

Arsenal are still unable to call upon Leah Williamson, Laura Wienroither and Teyah Goldie, who are all sidelined with anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
Lina Hurtig, Amanda Ilestedt and Lia Walti are doubts for Sunday’s contest, but Eidevall is hopeful that the trio can be involved in some capacity.
Having scored six goals in their last four appearances for club and country, McCabe will be looking to continue her fine form when she lines up against Man City.
As for the Citizens, Taylor has confirmed that Alex Greenwood will miss out due to concussion protocols after the defender suffered a nasty head collision in England’s 3-2 defeat to Belgium on Tuesday.
Demi Stokes is also unlikely to feature in the matchday squad, as she continues to work her way back to full fitness.
After returning from injury to play the final 30 minutes against Leicester, Lauren Hemp went on to start both of England’s Nations League games against Belgium, and she is expected to make the lineup for the meeting with Arsenal.
Arsenal Women possible starting lineup:Zinsberger; Maritz, Wubben-Moy, Codina, Catley; Little, Walti; McCabe, Maanum, Foord; Russo
Manchester City Women possible starting lineup:Keating; Morgan, Kennedy, Houghton, Aleixandri; Angeldal, Hasegawa, Roord; Hemp, Kelly, Shaw

Sean Dyche was forced into one alteration from the team that lost to Manchester United last week with Dominic Calvert-Lewin left out through injury, allowing Beto to make the starting 11.
Notably, the pink protest cards were out in force by the Everton faithful again this week.
There was little to choose between the sides during the opening exchanges, though Anthony Elanga looked like the most dangerous player on the pitch over the first 20 minutes, with Ashley Young struggling to keep up with the 21-year-old.
However, the first big chance of the match fell the way of The Toffees when Odysseas Vlachodimos dropped a high ball into the box that fell at the feet of Beto, but the forward skied his first-time effort over the bar from roughly 12 yards out.
Forest had their first real sight of goal at the half-hour mark, with Elanga getting on the end of a cross into the box, but the forward was unable to guide the ball inside the far post with his attempt.
The best chance of the first half went the way of the visitors when Abdoulaye Doucoure played in Dwight McNeil, who put his shot past Vlachodimos, but Murillo got back on the line and cleared the ball to safety off the face of the upright.
It was all square at the interval, but Everton should probably have been in the lead with two big chances wasted.
Forest made a bright start to the second half and almost got the opening goal with a shot from Felipe that struck the woodwork.
Amid the tussle in the box during that attempt, Doucoure looked to have pulled Yates to the ground, which the referee waved on, and after a VAR review, the video assistants decided there was not enough evidence to overturn the onfield decision.
Unfortunately for Forest, their frustrations were compounded 10 minutes later as Beto miscued a header in the opposing box that fell to McNeil, who lashed a powerful shot into the top corner to give The Toffees the lead.
Elanga almost pulled his side level twice in the final 10 minutes but saw his first attempt smothered by Jordan Pickford, while his second went just wide of the far post from a snap shot.
Everton parked the bus in stoppage time and saw the game out for a big three points.
Forest will head to Craven Cottage in midweek to take on Fulham while Everton will welcome Newcastle United to Goodison Park on Thursday night.
More to follow.
