WSL: Bristol Academy v Arsenal Ladies

Arsenal Ladies continue their WSL campaign with a trip to Bristol Academy on Thursday evening.

The teams are due to meet in the FA Women's Cup Final on May 20 and will know plenty about each other by the time they arrive at the Ricoh Arena - that will be their third clash of the campaign.

Laura Harvey's team beat Bristol 1-0 in their opening home game of the WSL season thanks to Jennifer Beattie's spectacular effort ten minutes from time.

But Bristol showed on that occasion that they are tough to break down and Arsenal could find it even tougher away from the home comforts of Meadow Park.

A win for the Ladies would take them to within a point of Birmingham if the leaders slip up against Liverpool on Thursday.
