Preview: United Women v Arsenal
TEAM NEWS
Jayde Riviere (knock), Melvine Malard (hamstring), Anna Sandberg (knee) and Evie Rabjohn (knee) were all doubts heading into the last game against Brighton & Hove Albion, and none of the quartet made the matchday squad for that game, or featured for their national sides over the international break.
Skinner will hope that the additional time away from the domestic game has given some of those injured players additional time to recover, and he may deliver some new information in his press conference ahead of the fixture on Friday.
For the visitors, Leah Williamson, Laura Wienroither and Lotte Wubben-May were all missing from their matchday squad last time out against West Ham United, along with Amanda Ilestedt, who gave birth to her daughter at the the end of August.
As with Skinner, more team news from the opposition may be revealed through interim head coach Renee Slegers's media duties running up to the game.
