Arsenal goalkeeper Anneke Borbe makes her first start since going off injured in the closing stages of the FIFA Champions Cup final as the Gunners host Bristol City.

Borbe collided with Lotte Wubben-Moy in stoppage time of Arsenal’s win over Corinthians and was taken to hospital, and returned to the squad in midweek as an unused substitute against OH Leuven.

Daphne van Domselaar drops to the bench as Arsenal make six changes from Wednesday's Champions League win. Emily Fox, Leah Williamson, Steph Catley Kim Little and Olivia Smith all come into the side.

In-form Bristol City loanee Jessie Gale is ineligible to face her parent club.

Arsenal: Borbe; McCabe, Catley, Williamson, Fox; Caldentey, Little; Kelly, Russo, Foord; Smith.

Subs: Van Domselaar, Williams, Wubben-Moy, Codina, Hinds, Holmberg, Maanum, Pelova, Blackstenius.
