Leah Williamson returns to the XI alongside Laia Codina, the centre-back duo replacing Lotte Wubben-Moy and Steph Catley respectively.
In midfield, Victoria Pelova comes in for Kim Little, the latter making her 400th appearance for Arsenal if she comes off the bench.
Among the forwards, Frida Maanum replaces Alessia Russo and Chloe Kelly starts ahead of Beth Mead.
The six players keeping their places are Daphne van Domselaar, Emily Fox, Katie McCabe, Mariona Caldentey, Caitlin Foord and Olivia Smith.
