Team news: Blackstenius and Catley start

Stina Blackstenius celebrates her goal against Linkoping

Stina Blackstenius and Steph Catley have returned to the starting XI as we take on Paris FC in the UWCL qualifiers. 

Eidevall has made two changes to the line-up that saw off Linkoping earlier this week, with Alessia Russo and Katie McCabe making way for the duo. 

Blackstenius was our top scorer last season, bagging 18 goals across all competitions, and represented Sweden at this summer's FIFA World Cup. Catley, meanwhile, captained Australia to the semi-finals of the competition, playing every possible minute in the competition at left back. 

A win for our Gunners this afternoon will secure our place in round 2 of UWCL qualifying. You can watch every moment on Arsenal.com and our official app, with the stream kicking off at 1:55pm GMT.
