Arsenal will be delighted with their form in recent games. They have won all of their last five matches with an aggregate score of 19-0. They kickstarted their WSL season in a satisfactory manner with a comprehensive 4-0 win over Brighton at the weekend. Arsenal will be keen to qualify and surpass their last season’s quarter final position in the Champions League.
Ajax had to endure two demanding ties against Kristianstads DFF and Eintracht Frankfurt to advance to their current stage. Ajax have started their domestic season wonderfully with a thrashing of Fortuna Sittard 4-0 couple of days back. The Dutch side will need to draw inspiration from that to come out winners in a tough tie against Arsenal.
Both the sides reportedly have no fitness or injury issues to deal with. There are no suspension issues either. This will enable the coaches to field their respective strongest XIs and produce a top quality match.
Arsenal Women possible line-up: Zinsberger, Wienroither, Williamson, Souza, McCabe, Walti, Little, Mead, Miedema, Foord, Blackstenius
Ajax Vrouwen possible line-up: Kop, Kardinaal, De Sanders, Doorn, Verhoeve, Grant, Spitse, Sabajo, Pelova, Weerden, Leuchter
