Arsenal played to a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in the second week of the WSL season. Manager Renée Slegers rotated the starting lineup, bringing in Lotte Wubben-Moy, Kyra Cooney-Cross, and Chloe Kelly, though the team failed to convert their attacking chances.
