Sarah Rendell’s live Women’s Super League blog of Arsenal v Manchester United will be with us soon. Meanwhile, Tom Garry has sent us this scene setter from the Emirates. Arsenal are averaging just over 36,000 for home games this term, while nobody else in the continent is averaging more than four figures. There is a buzz around the ground despite the chill in the air. Neither side can afford to lose, if they have any hope of catching the leaders Manchester City, and equally, any losing side today would lose ground on the other in the race for the Champions League places.
