The summer departure of Lia Walti left a hole in defensive midfield, yet to be filled, which equally needs addressing.

The other big contract question hangs over head coach Renee Slegers - will she be rewarded for delivering Arsenal's second European title with a new long-term contract or has poor league form somewhat tarnished her...
