From the source

In the last two games, Arsenal have put together back-to-back wins for the first time this season against Spurs and Benfica. Slegers made some changes to the team in the North London derby and some of those partnerships bore fruit again against Benfica last night.

Taylor Hinds and Caitlin Foord again struck up a good relationship on the left hand side. Meanwhile, Alessia Russo played in the mumber 10 behind Olivia Smith upfront, who usually plays as a winger.

These were partnerships Renee Slegers didn’t totally plan for a few weeks ago. Arseblog News asked Slegers how she balances the short-term need for momentum and results with longer term squad building questions in her Thursday press conference ahead of Sunday’s home game with Aston Villa.
