The Reds face the Gunners at Leigh Sports Village in the league this weekend, in our final game before the late-November international break.
The league outing will come four days on from our midweek victory over Manchester City in the Continental Tyres League Cup, a result that the boss says his side are buzzing from and are determined to build on.
And Skinner has challenged his team to produce the character shown in Wednesday’s derby win again, during our upcoming meeting with the WSL leaders.
“It’s been great [the mood in the squad]. It deserves to be great, not just because of the result, but because of the grit and the determination the players showed in that game,” Skinner says in his pre-Arsenal catch-up with club media.
