Crystal Palace Women travel to face Arsenal in Sunday league fixture

Crystal Palace Women face Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday 13 September in a 2:45pm kick-off. The match follows a 1-0 season-opening victory for Crystal Palace over Everton, a result currently subject to a WSL investigation regarding substitution protocols. For the upcoming fixture, manager Jo Potter is expected to field a similar lineup to the opening match, featuring players with recent WSL experience. Arsenal enters the match following a 1-0 win against Brighton in their season opener, fueled by a goal from new signing Lisa Baum. The Gunners, who finished second in the WSL last season and won the 2025 UEFA Women's Champions League, have undergone significant roster changes including the departures of Katie McCabe and Beth Mead. This match marks a test for Crystal Palace against a side that has historically held an advantage in recent competitive meetings.
