Leading-scorer Lauren James returns to the attack, as does Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, and there is also a start for second-highest scorer Sjoeke Nusken.

Mayra Ramirez retains her place after her goal against Ajax midweek. She is the only difference from the side that began the league win against Arsenal two weeks ago.

Hannah Hampton is back in goal and another restored to the starting line-up is Niamh Charles, who is also named as captain.

Melanie Leupolz joins Erin Cuthbert in midfield.

Arsenal recall their top scorer in this competition, Stina Blackstenius, to the side that won in the WSL at Aston Villa in their most recent game.
