Arsenal v London Bees: The brief

We kick off our Continental Tyres Cup campaign off against Women’s Super League 2 side London Bees on Thursday night, looking to bounce back from some disappointing results in the league.

After starting the season off with a win against Birmingham City, Pedro Martinez Losa’s side have since been beaten by Manchester City and held to a draw by Bristol City, leaving us sixth in the table.

THE OPPOSITION

The Bees have started the campaign with three defeats on the bounce, losing to Doncaster Belles, Sheffield and Tottenham.

While the Oranges have not clicked into gear yet, they will be hoping to repeat their cup surprise from last season,when they knocked Chelsea out in the first round.
