The FA have released the group list for the League Cup and Arsenal have been placed in the Group B. There will be a group stage as usual followed by a knock-out stage.
It is a well-balanced group with three FA WSL and three FA WC sides, unlike the other three groups that see a 1-5, 4-1 and 4-2 split. You really do wonder why and how the FA manages to create so many uneven groups from a 12/11 original line-up.

Arsenal will have a very busy season playing in four competitions and trying to win them all. A very tough task – that the 2006/07 squad managed to do unbeaten.

I think it’s quite clear that the extra number of games will take their toll on the squad, and the fact that we added a few players during the summer transfer window will certainly help.
