Arsenal will host fourth-placed Manchester United at the packed Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to keep pace with the top two in the Women's Super League(WSL).
The hosts are coming into this clash off the back of a comfortable 4-0 victory over London City Lionesses in the League Cup quarter-finals, and find themselves in third place in the WSL, six points adrift of leaders Chelsea.
The Red Devils, meanwhile, are four points shy of their upcoming opponent in fourth position and secured a 3-1 away victory over second-tier Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round last weekend.
