VIDEO: 'Too easy!' - Beth Mead stitches up Lionesses team-mate Alessia Russo during Arsenal media day ahead of new WSL season

Mead went undercover during an Arsenal media day to stitch up team-mate Russo. The England star was tasked with a number of 'Spy Sports' challenges, including showing off her 'awkward dancing' moves, and had no problems at all getting her team-mate involved.

"This is too easy!" was Mead's verdict after completing the challenge. She also successfully managed to get Russo to say the word 'tractor,' put stickers on her team-mates without them noticing and was given "10 out of 10" for her efforts.

Arsenal will be gunning for the WSL title in 2024-25 after an underwhelming campaign last time out. The Gunners have gone five years since being crowned champions of England and face a tricky start to the season with Manchester City up first. The team also head into the match off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Hacken in Champions League qualifying in midweek. Manchester City finished as runners-up last season, one place above Arsenal, and have brought in Vivianne Miedema from the north London club over the summer.

A big week awaits Arsenal with City the visitors on Sunday before the second leg of their Champions League qualifier against Hacken. Jonas Eidevall's side then head to Leicester on Sunday for a first away WSL game of the season.
