"She has done really well. Of course she has her super strength -- she's very fast and with that speed she can still create and be controlled and balanced. So she's a really, really good player ... made a great impact for Chelsea and really shown herself in the WSL. So we'll have to look out for her [on Saturday]. We have to find the right ways to stop her."
"We have to find the right ways to stop her."
Arsenal must be wary of United States forward Alyssa Thompson, who has made an instant impact at Chelsea and leads their WSL scoring with four goals. Thompson scored her first WSL goal against Arsenal at the Emirates with a delicate lob. Her pace, strength, control and balance allow her to create chances and threaten defences. Emily Fox returns from a concussion and will boost Chelsea’s options, while Leah Williamson and Chloe Kelly are not in Arsenal’s squad. Arsenal lie four points behind Chelsea and ten behind Manchester City, having been knocked out of the League Cup by Manchester United and drawn three of their last five league games.
