Before Beth Mead left the field against United in November, Arsenal scored 18 goals in nine domestic games; since then the Gunners have scored just seven league goals in five games before taking another hit.
Three weeks and five days later, Vivianne Miedema was carried off the pitch and Arsenal received a double blow to the ACL for the prominent attacking threat in Jonas Eidevall’s team.

However, with her club on 21 occasions so far, the 28-year-old has scored just six in all competitions and just one goal in the league campaign. Will she be able to bear the weight of expectations and the pressure to deliver in the absence of Mead and Miedema?
