Martin Ho has made seven changes to the team that defeated Bristol City in the Players Cup in midweek, with Caitlin Dijkstra, Amanda Nilden, Signe Gaupset and Olivia Holdt retaining their places in the starting XI.
Lize Kop, Toko Koga, Julie Blakstad, Matilda Vinberg, Victoria Pelova, Cathinka Tandberg and captain Drew Spence come back into the team, the latter today setting a new outright record for all-time WSL appearances as she moves onto 217, one ahead of retired former Chelsea defender Millie Bright.
It’s two changes from our last WSL outing against Arsenal with Amanda Nilden and Holdt replacing Alice Sombath, who is now sidelined with an ACL injury, and Eveliina Summanen, who drops to the bench.
