Sunderland v Arsenal: The Brief

We’re back in Women’s Super League action on Wednesday evening when we take on Sunderland at Mariners Park.

Scroll down to find out more about our opponents ahead of our penultimate game of the season.

THE OPPOSITION

Sunderland have struggled this season, but they won’t be pushovers.

The Black Cats sit ninth in the Women’s Super League, only above Yeovil Town, but can still rise to seventh in the table if results go their way.

Lucy Staniforth has been a rare glimmer of light in an otherwise difficult season for Sunderland.

Their captain has netted 10 times in 23 appearances this campaign and is a goalscoring midfielder who leads by example on the pitch.
