Renée Slegers has made six changes to the side that beat Crystal Palace at the weekend, as we prepare to face Brighton & Hove Albion in the quarter-finals of the Subway Women's League Cup.
Our head coach has fully rotated our backline, with the exception of Katie McCabe. Manuela Zinsberger steps in between the posts, with Lotte Wubben-Moy and Laia Codina partnering as centre-backs. Young Gun Katie Reid begins at right-back.
Lia Walti returns to the midfield alongside Kyra Cooney-Cross and Frida Maanum, with Rosa Kafaji earning a start on the wing.
Elsewhere, Beth Mead and Alessia Russo return to the starting XI after both notching up goals against Palace.
Arsenal starting XI: Zinsberger, Wubben-Moy, Codina, Mead, McCabe (C), Maanum, Walti, Kafaji, Russo, Cooney-Cross, Reid
Subs: van Domselaar, Fox, Williamson, Catley, Wienroither, Mariona, Little, Foord, Blackstenius
