Rylee Foster remains a long-term absentee for Liverpool as she continues her recovery from the serious road traffic accident that she was involved in last October.

The Reds could field a central midfield pairing of Arsenal academy graduates in the shape of Jade Bailey and Carla Humphrey, with the pair both products of the Gunners youth system and going on to make a handful of first team appearances before departing the club in 2015 and 2017 respectively.

Liverpool had a number of players jetting across the world on international duty, with Niamh Fahey earning her 100th cap for the Republic of Ireland during the break. Meikayla Moore could also feature for Liverpool, with Beard promising that his team will rally round her after her own goal hat-trick at the SheBelieves Cup.

Arsenal have no new selection concerns, with everyone fit and available apart from defender Lotte Wubben-Moy, who missed the Arnold Clark Cup due to injury.

Four Arsenal players were part of England’s Arnold Clark Cup triumph; Leah Williamson, Jordan Nobbs, Nikita Parris and Beth Mead, with the former captaining the Lionesses throughout the tournament.

Vivianne Miedema debuted in midfield against Chelsea in the Gunners‘ last outing, and the Dutch forward could feature in the number 10 role again with Stina Blackstenius leading the line.

Liverpool: Laws; Wardlaw, Hinds, Moore, Robe; Humphrey, Bailey, Fahey; Hodson, Stengal, Kearns

Arsenal: Zinsberger; Maritz, Williamson, Raffealla, Catley; Walti, Little, Miedema; Mead, Blackstenius, Foord

This promises to be a fascinating match up given Liverpool’s dominance in the Championship this season, and how close they ran WSL outfit Tottenham in the quarter finals of the Continental Cup.

Matt Beard’s side’s success has been built on a strong defensive foundation, conceding just five league goals in 15 games so far.

Arsenal will provide the toughest attacking test Liverpool have come up against this season, and although their WSL quality will be expected to ultimately prove decisive, the Gunners won’t have it all their own way.

Score prediction: Liverpool 0-1 Arsenal
