Pre-Match Report

Ladies: Bristol v Arsenal - Preview

We go into our final game of the Spring Series with a possibility of lifting the trophy.

Ahead of kick-off we sit in third, just one point off of top spot but with table-topping Chelsea boasting a 19-goal superior goal difference.

To clinch the title we must win at Bristol City, with Chelsea failing to win at Birmingham City and Manchester City dropping points at Liverpool.

Aside from the title race, we have the chance to become the only side to finish the Spring Series unbeaten, should we avoid defeat on Saturday.

THE OPPOSITION

Bristol sit second-bottom of the table, having won just one of their seven Spring Series fixtures.

The Vixens are the second-lowest scorers in the competition, having found the net just five times, while conceding 16 goals.

Last time out they lost 4-0 at home to Chelsea.

ONE TO WATCH

Jordan Nobbs has arguably been the star of our Spring Series campaign.

The tenacious midfielder has repeatedly come up with match-winning moments and dictates play from her deep midfield position.

During the 1-0 win over Reading on Wednesday night, Nobbs was named captain for the first time, but Alex Scott is expected to return to the starting lineup this time around.
