Arsenal sit sixth in the FA WSL. Let that sink in. The Gunners have scraped together just 13 points from nine matches - three wins, four draws, and two defeats. Last season's runners-up have turned into draw specialists, particularly at home, where they've drawn all four matches and are yet to win. Zero home victories. That's not a typo.
London City Lionesses are this season's surprise package, perched in third on 19 points with 24 goals scored. Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas has transformed this club. Delphine Cascarino, Grace Geyoro, and Kadidiatou Diani provide serious Ligue 1 pedigree. Their 6-1 demolition of Spurs and 4-1 thumping of Birmingham show a side that can be ruthless.
Arsenal edged Liverpool 2-1 last time out thanks to Alessia Russo's brace, but drew with Birmingham and Aston Villa before that. Their home average of 0.8 goals per game is dire. The Lionesses, meanwhile, average 2.7 goals across all matches this term and haven't failed to score once.
Arsenal won both meetings last season - 4-1 at home and 2-0 away. History favours the Gunners, but this is a very different Lionesses side.
Arsenal desperately need a home win to stay relevant in the title conversation. London City will fancy their chances against a defence that looks shaky. Something has to give.
