Arsenal Women v Charlton Athletic: The Brief

We welcome Charlton Athletic to Meadow Park on Sunday afternoon, with a place in the SSE FA Women’s Cup semi-final up for grabs.

Although they were perennial finalists during the early noughts, FA Women’s Premier League Southern Division side Charlton have only ever won this competition once - but they head into Sunday’s game in good form and with plenty of confidence.

Last weekend’s 5-1 win over Cardiff City was the latest in an impressive run of nine wins in a row, dating back to the start of November.

In those nine games, they have scored 45 goals - including an 11-0 thrashing of Swindon Town four months ago - and only conceded eight times.
