TEAM UPDATE
United currently sits at the top of the league, but their lead over the north Londoners is minimal, relying solely on goal difference, making this matchup crucial.
Manager Skinner is optimistic about Celin Bizet Donnum’s availability after resting her as a precaution during the recent victory over Brann, where Elisabeth Terland netted a hat-trick. An update on Millie Turner is still pending as she undergoes assessment for her knee issue.
Leah Galton and Simi Awujo have been absent recently, but Rachel Williams has returned, while Jayde Riviere sustained a minor injury last Thursday.
The visitors will miss England international Leah Williamson, who recently had knee surgery. Record-signing Olivia Smith may make her first start after previously coming off the bench in the match against West Ham United.
Manager Renee Slegers has indicated that Chloe Kelly is likely to be fit for selection.
“It’s just a slight knock,” Slegers commented. “She has been a significant part of training this week, so things are looking promising.”
