The game of the weekend
Vivianne Miedema’s departure at the end of last season left Arsenal fans – and players – heartbroken, especially when she signed with rivals Manchester City. It seems the fixture committee had drama in mind for the season opener, as Arsenal will face Manchester City this Sunday at the Emirates. Miedema making her WSL debut for City at the home of her former club feels like a true football fairy tale.
