Arsenal are through to the FA WSL Continental Cup final after defeating holders Manchester City 2-1 at home on Wednesday night.

There was a shortage of upsets in the fourth round of the Women’s FA Cup as only one underdog managed to go through to the next round.

Joe Montemurro’s small squad policy was heavily criticised by some Arsenal fans following the 4-1 home defeat to Chelsea so I thought it would be interesting to look at how the big 3 teams are managing their players’ load and how they do the squad rotation.

Here are the latest disciplinary updates from the FA website with some well-known names among the leaders.

Caitlin Foord has said goodbye to her teammates and is heading for Arsenal before the end of this transfer window, so what can Gooners expect from the Australian international?

Arsenal were soundly beaten 4-1 at home to Chelsea on Sunday and dropped to second in the league and opening the door for the Blues to overtake them with their game in hand.

Arsenal were brilliant on Sunday as they beat Brighton 4-0 away. We expected a tough game after previously drawing 0-0 in the Conti Cup group stage, but the girls performed superbly and made it an easy win.

Multiple sources in the USA, Australia and England believe that the Australian striker, Caitlin Foord, is on the Arsenal wishlist and could move to the club during the January transfer window.

The Gunners started the new year with a comfortable 2-0 win against Birmingham to stay top of the table as Chelsea and Manchester City also won their games on Sunday.

The draw for the Women’s FA Cup will be made on Monday evening at 5pm on talksport as the FA WSL and FA WC teams enter the competition with ties to be played on Sun 26 January.

Arsenal’s Scottish left-back Emma Mitchell has moved to Tottenham Hotspur for six months on loan in order to get more game time.

To celebrate the new year, here are my Arsenal Women top 5 moments of the decade.
