Renée Slegers has named her first starting XI of 2025 for today’s visit of Crystal Palace at Meadow Park, and her first since becoming our permanent head coach.
Since our last game, a 3-2 win at home to Bayern Munich in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, Renée has made two changes for today’s starting line-up against the Eagles in the Barclays Women’s Super League.
Beth Mead and Frida Maanum start ahead of Caitlin Foord and Stina Blackstenius, the latter not available to be included in the squad.
Lia Walti returns to the squad on the bench.
STARTING XI: Van Domselaar, Fox, Williamson, Catley, Mariona, Mead, Little (C), McCabe, Maanum, Russo, Cooney-Cross
Substitutes: Zinsberger, Williams, Wubben-Moy, Codina, Walti, Foord, Wienroither, Kafaji, Reid
