Team news: Eidevall makes six changes

Laia Codina, Noelle Maritz and Stina Blackstenius

Jonas Eidevall has made six changes to the side who faced Liverpool last weekend, as we take on Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village. 

World cup winner Laia Codina makes her debut after joining from Barcelona in the summer. She is joined at the back by fellow new arrival, Amanda Ilestedt. 

Sabrina D’Angelo will be between the posts for our Gunners this evening - the first start for our Canadian keeper since our WSL closer against Aston Villa last season. 

Elsewhere, Noelle Maritz makes her first WSL appearance this campaign, after a knock ruled her out against Liverpool, as does midfielder Victoria Pelova. Alessia Russo starts against her former club and Stina Blackstenius returns to the starting XI.

Arsenal starting XI: D’Angelo, Beattie, Catley, Little (C), Walti, Maritz, Pelova, Russo, Blackstenius, Codina, Ilestedt

Subs: Zinsberger, Wubben-Moy, Maanum, McCabe, Hurtig, Foord, Kuhl, Lacasse, Cooney-Cross
