Arsenal Women and Bristol City Women will battle for three points in a Women's Super League matchday 18 fixture on Sunday.
The home side have not been in action since claiming a morale-boosting 1-0 extra-time victory over Chelsea in the Women's League Cup final a fortnight ago. They could not be separated in a goalless draw in regulation time. Stina Blackstenius scored the match-winner in the 116th minute of the game.
The Gunners will turn their focus back to the league where, they last claimed a 3-1 away win over Aston Villa.
Bristol City, meanwhile, suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Tottenham. Bethany England's second-minute strike was the difference between the two sides.
The loss left them rooted to the bottom of the standings, having garnered six points from 17 games. Arsenal are third with 37 points to their name.
