Wednesday’s suspenseful but ultimately triumphant Conti Cup semi-final was only the warm-up for Arsenal's double-header against Manchester City, or so that was the sentiment elicited from City boss Gareth Taylor after Stina Blackstenius clinched the win in extra-time to fire the Gunners into the final against Chelsea.
And Jonas Eidevall did not feign ignorance at the task at hand come Saturday lunch time when Arsenal are set to line up against City once more.
Rather than a place in the final on the line, a critical step towards the league title will be up for grabs. Arsenal sit third in the league, above City on goal difference but with a game in hand.
