Pre-Match Report

Birmingham v Arsenal - The Brief

Arsenal Women

We have the opportunity to secure Champions League football on Sunday afternoon when we face Birmingham City at Damson Park. 

The Blues have proven themselves to be tricky opponents over recent years, having defeated us 3-0 in this same fixture last season. 

Only this time, we head into this clash off the back of four consecutive WSL victories, with a league title locked in our sights. 

During that time we’ve scored an impressive 15 goals, keeping three clean sheets and conceding just once.

But that’s no surprise when you realise that last weekend we became the first side in Women’s Super League history to reach a goal difference of +50. 

Read on for our comprehensive preview, including key stats, Joe Montemurro’s thoughts, a look at where the game could be decided and analysis of the opposition.
