There will be a round of applause in memory of Sir Chips Keswick.

Victoria Pelova is making her 50th appearance for Arsenal.

It finished 2-2 between Man United and Tottenham after a late leveller from Maya Le Tissier.

Here come the teams...

Both teams are in the dressing rooms as the flamethrowers are assembled pitchside!

Some presentations pitchside- Edu Gaspar presents Stina Blackstenius with her goal of the month and player of the month award before Lia Walti is commemorated by Vinai Venkatesham after recently bringing up her 150th Arsenal appearance.

Leicester are winless in their last four WSL games after beating Bristol City 5-2. The Foxes were rocked by the suspension, and eventual departure of manager Willie Kirk, after he was found to have had a relationship with a player.

Leicester can mathematically still be relegated but in reality are a comfortable 11 points clear of bottom side Bristol City. The 10th placed Foxes recently reached the FA Cup semi-finals, but lost to Tottenham in extra time.

With Manchester United losing to Spurs, Liverpool are fourth in the WSL, eight points behind Arsenal in third. The Gunners will all but seal European football with a win over Leicester.

Arsenal CEO Vinai Venkatesham has been chatting to Jonas Eidevall pitchside- Venkatesham will step down this summer following 14 years at the club.

Over 40,000 fans are expected to flood through the turnstiles for today's game.

Arsenal and Leicester are both warming up.

Wubben-Moy's injury is reportedly not serious, but Catley is preferred to a trio of Arsenal centre-backs on the bench- Goldie, Reid and Codina.

A correction from the earlier lineup- Katie McCabe replaces Lotte Wubben-Moy, meaning Steph Catley will start at CB.

Vivianne Miedema has also progressed well from injury and is back on the bench!

Arsenal make one change from the 5-0 win over Bristol City, as Manu Zinsberger replaces Sabrina D'Angelo in goal.

Frida Maanum is back in the Arsenal squad for the first time since March 31, when she collapsed in the Conti Cup final.

Leicester subs: Leitzig, Ale, Green, Palmer, Pelgander, Whelan, Siemsen, O'Brien, Baker.

Arsenal subs: D'Angelo, Williams, Codina, Goldie, Wienroither, Reid, Maanum, Lacasse, Miedema.

Five minutes until team news- will Frida Maanum return to action for the Gunners, and are Laia Codina and Kyra Cooney-Cross fit enough to feature?

Good afternoon, and a very warm welcome to our Gooner Fanzine live blog. Freddie Cardy is here to take you through all the action as Arsenal Women welcome Leicester City to Emirates Stadium.
