Due to the FA Cup and the UWCL being spread over two different seasons, because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the team wore two different sets of kits this season.
The Dutch got the furthest in the tournament, ultimately being defeated 2–0 by the United States in the final winning them the silver medal in only their second World Cup appearance. England got fourth place after losing the third place play-off against Sweden 1–2. France got knocked out in the quarter-finals by the United States (1–2), Germany was beaten 1–2 by Sweden in the quarter-finals and Scotland was not able to get out of their group.
Pre-season
The first pre-season friendly was against Bayern Munich in the Emirates Cup on 28 July, played in the Emirates Stadium. The women's team played this as a double-header with the men, who played Olympique Lyonnais later that afternoon. The team were still missing their Dutch and English internationals, who were not yet in training as they just returned from holiday after playing in the later stages of the World Cup. Aside from those missing internationals, the team had only been in pre-season for one and a half weeks whilst Bayern's season would start in a few weeks. Bayern won the match 0–1, with Melanie Leupolz heading in a free-kick in the first half. The match was overshadowed by Danielle Carter going off the field on a stretcher late in the second half. It was later revealed that she had sustained an ACL injury, which will keep her off the pitch for a long time. This just after she had come back from an ACL injury for which she had been out for almost a year.[2]
Coach Joe Montemurro admitted that the game came a bit too early in their pre-season, but that it was a great occasion to showcase the women's game to a bigger crowd. He would've liked to come up against opposition of this kind a bit further into the pre-season, but the chance came along to be part of the Emirates Cup. It was important though to make sure the World Cup players were given a good rest before starting pre-season at the club.[3]
The first part of pre-season included the previously mentioned match against Bayern and further friendlies against VfL Wolfsburg (two-time Champions League winner and 2018-19 quarter-finalist) and FC Barcelona (2018-19 Champions League finalist). A 3–0 defeat against the current German champions in the Austrian mountains and a 2–5 defeat at home against Barça showed that the team still has work to do in order to prepare for the upcoming European season. One of the issues seems the absence of Lia Wälti, who is still recovering from a knee injury. She plays as defensive midfielder and Joe Montemurro has attempted to work around her injury by trying other players on that position or other formations, but none seem to have had the desired effect - a problem that will need solving before the season begins.[4]
After going head-to-head against the best European teams, Montemurro's team went on to play two more friendlies to prepare for the domestic season. They first played West Ham United behind closed doors, winning it 2–0.[5] The final pre-season game came on 25 August against North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur which was won 6–0 with a hat-trick by new signing Jill Roord and further goals by fellow new signing Jen Beattie, 2018/19 topscorer Vivianne Miedema and Jordan Nobbs, who returned to the pitch after being out since November 2018 with an ACL injury.[6]
Daniëlle van de Donk (pictured against Slavia Praha) scored the only goal in the 89th minute of the away tie against Manchester United.
September–November
The Gunners' season started in September with a home game against West Ham United (8 September), which saw the official debuts of Jill Roord, Leonie Maier and Manuela Zinsberger – Jen Beattie made her second debut for the club. Beth Mead put Arsenal ahead after 14 minutes and Roord scored on her debut before half-time. A second half goal by Martha Thomas saw West Ham bring the score to 2–1 and they could've leveled it just before the end of the match when they were awarded an indirect free-kick after Arsenal goalkeeper Zinsberger picked up what the referee perceived to be a backpass, but the shot was saved by Zinsberger.[7]
On 16 September the Gunners traveled to Leigh Sports Village to play newly promoted Championship champions Manchester United. It was a very tight match, with good chances on both sides: Jane Ross had her promising attack stopped by Zinsberger and Miedema saw her attempts frustrated by Mary Earps. A 89th-minute goal from Daniëlle van de Donk proving to be the difference between the two teams that evening, the fixture ending in 0–1 and Arsenal maintaining their good start to the league season.[8]
Brighton & Hove Albion visited Meadow Park on 29 September for the third league game of the season. The Gunners ran out clear 4–0 victors, with Little, Miedema, Van de Donk and Nobbs all bagging one goal each. Besides scoring one goal, Miedema also assisted the goals for Little and Van de Donk.[9]
Captain Kim Little scored a penalty in both Champions League ties against Slavia Praha.
After the October international break, Arsenal visited Chelsea at Kingsmeadow on 13 October. The Gunners took the early lead through a Van de Donk goal but seemed disjointed and underperforming in the second half, allowing in two Chelsea goals causing the first defeat this season and ending their run of 11 matches unbeaten. As a result of the 2–1 defeat, the team dropped down to third in the league rankings.[10]Manchester City came to Arsenal's home on 27 October. City were the only side who hadn't dropped any points in the league yet and were on top of the league. Great play between Little and Miedema saw the latter score her 49th goal in as many starts for the club, slotting the ball low past City goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck. Her goal turned out to be the only one in the game, though Nobbs came very close in the latter stages of the second half, but missed an absolute sitter a few yards from the goal. With the 1–0 victory, Arsenal moved up to second, just one point behind Chelsea.[11]
The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium played host to the first WSL North London Derby, turning out a record 38,262 spectators.
After the international break, the Gunners played Tottenham Hotspur on 17 November in the first women's league North London Derby, at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The first half was pretty even between Arsenal and rivals Spurs, but in the end a league record crowd of 38,262 saw Arsenal win 2–0, thanks to second-half goals from Little and Miedema.[12]
The last game of November, on the 24th was against bottom of the league Liverpool. Although standing last in the league, Liverpool hadn't conceded many goals throughout the season. This game was no different, a first-half goal by Miedema making the difference to decide this match: 1–0.[13]
December–February
Vivianne Miedema (pictured against Lewes) scored six goals and assisted four against Bristol City. She claimed the league's topscorer title for the second year running.
When Bristol City returned to Meadow Park for the league on 1 December, Arsenal continued where they left off in the League Cup 10 days prior. In a new record win for the Women's Super League, the Gunners put 11 goals past Bristol, in what could only be described as a Miedema masterclass. In her 70 minutes on the pitch, she scored six and assisted another four goals: two scored by Evans, and one each by Williamson and Nobbs. Miedema was thus involved in all ten goals scored when she was on the pitch. After being substituted, two further goals were scored: one by Mitchell - who substituted on for Miedema and one by Bristol's Yana Daniels, who put away a penalty rebound ending the game in 11–1.[14]
A week later on 8 December Arsenal went to Adams Park to take on Reading in the league. After a slow start (first 30 minutes) in which Reading played a high press, making it difficult for Arsenal to execute their game plan, Miedema was the first to score. Ten minutes later Little finished a superbe team-goal, engineered by her with one-touch passing between her, Nobbs and Williamson. After the break, not much changed for the scoreline until the first minute of extra time when Miedema dinked the ball over the keeper into the net after a long pass by Van de Donk, ending the game in 0–3.[15]
In the last game of 2019, Arsenal traveled to Everton on 15 December for their league game. Game started off well, Miedema scoring the first inside 15 minutes. Halfway through the first half, Gabrielle George collided with Mead causing the latter to be stretchered off the field, letting Arsenal fans - all to familiar with injuries over the last seasons - fear the worst. The second half produced the result: a Little penalty, another Miedema goal and an Everton goal by Chloe Kelly ending the game in 1–3.[16] Luckily for the Gunners, Arsenal later reported that after taking x-rays of her leg, Mead's injuries weren't as bad as they seemed during the game - only sustaining bruising to her lower leg.[17]
The new year started off with a visit by Birmingham City to Meadow Park on 5 January. A first-half goal each from Little and Nobbs resulting in a 2–0 win. The Birmingham side had been a mainstay in the top four for recent seasons, but managerial changes and important players transferring out has left the club fighting to stay up thus far this season.[18]
A week later (12 January), the Gunners traveled to Brighton & Hove Albion. In the reverse fixture, Arsenal had beaten the Seagulls 4–0 and this match had the same result: first-half goals by Van de Donk and Roord and second-half goals by Nobbs and Mead ensuring another 0–4 win.[19]
On 19 January, the Gunners welcomed Chelsea to Meadow Park. The first 20 minutes from the visitors was an onslaught, striking three times - by England, Kerr and Ingle, leaving the Gunners no chance to get into the game. Reiten scored a fourth in the second-half before Mead got a consolation goal. Manager Montemurro later admitted that he got the tactics wrong in attempting to press a bit higher up the pitch and stop them from playing through the middle and to create overloads in the middle of the park,[20] which allowed Chelsea to easily attack from the sides.[21]
Arsenal visited the Academy Stadium on 2 February to play Manchester City for the league, only four days after their League Cup semi-final victory. This time around though the roles are reversed with City scoring two goals around half time. Van de Donk put one in the back of the net halfway through the second half to produce the result: 2–1.[22]
After the little snag in the Gunners' league campaign, they visited Liverpool on 13 February. Liverpool went a goal up early in the first half via Babajide. Miedema scored the equalizer halfway through, for Nobbs to add to the tally just minutes later. Just before half-time, Liverpool drew back level via Furness to got 2–2 into the break. Late in the second half, Arsenal were able to get the result they wanted: Miedema scoring to end the game 3–2.[23]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FA decided to suspend the league on 13 March,[24] first until April but later indefinitively. On 25 May it was announced that the season will not be continued,[25] with the end standings determined on 5 June based on points per game, resulting in a third place for Arsenal.[26] The season's Champions League play-offs will be played in August,[27] while the FA Cup will be finished in September.[28]

Arsenal entered the Women's FA Cup in the fourth round against West Ham United on 26 January 2020, Wälti's side-footed volley and McCabe's early goal meant the "Gunners" comfortably moved into the fifth round of the competition. Arsenal's win came after their 4–1 league defeat to Chelsea; after the match, both Montemurro and Wälti said that they were happy with the team's response after the defeat.[87] Arsenal then played Lewes on 23 February, a match which was postponed a few days earlier due to poor weather conditions caused by Storm Dennis.[88] The club progressed to the quarter-finals following a "dominant" 2–0 home win over the second-tier side with goals from Foord and Van de Donk,[89] it was Foord's first appearance and goal for the club since joining in January.[90]
The competition was then delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic with the quarter-final against Tottenham Hotspur in March postponed; the Football Association later rescheduled the remainder of the competition in July, set to be played from September, three weeks into the following WSL season.[91] During Arsenal's match against "Spurs", which was played behind closed doors at Meadow Park, the "Gunners" comfortably won 4–0 with an Evans hat-trick and a goal from Nobbs.[92] Arsenal were then drawn against title holders Manchester City for their semi-final fixture. The "Gunners" were defeated 2–1 at the Academy Stadium, goals from City's Sam Mewis and former Arsenal player Steph Houghton meant that Arsenal left the competition early.[93] Manchester City later won the FA Cup after defeating Everton 3–1 in the final.[94]
Arsenal began their FA Women's League Cup campaign away against second-tier side London City Lionesses in September 2019. The "Gunners" dispatched the newly-formed side 5–0, Mead scored a hat-trick whilst Roord and Mitchell bagged the other goals which gave Arsenal a winning start to the group stage.[95] After the match Mead explained that Arsenal's league campaign was most important to the team, but also said that "we are a team that wants to win things and we should be winning things", hinting at Arsenal's desire to win the competition.[95] In late October, Arsenal later defeated Charlton Athletic 4–0 at Meadow Park with goals from Mead, Beattie and two from Van de Donk.[96] After a penalty defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion, and wins against Bristol City and the London Bees, Arsenal qualified for the knockout phase with 13 points on their group stage table.[97]

Knockout phase
Arsenal hosted WSL side Reading on 15 January for their quarter-final tie, the "Gunners" defeated Reading with a late strike from Little which was teed up by Evans down the right wing.[98] After the match, Montemurro acknowledged Arsenal's struggle to stick to their principles saying that "there were lots of elements of frustration."[99] Later in the month, Arsenal played Manchester City at Meadow Park. They qualified for the competition's final after a 2–1 win with goals from Miedema and Van de Donk; City almost got back into the game with pressure on the Arsenal defence, but goalkeeper Zinsberger made several high quality saves to keep Arsenal in the match.[100] The City Ground played host for the final against Chelsea, who had defeated Manchester United 1–0 in the semi-finals.[101] Arsenal lost the League Cup final 2–1 with Bethany England scoring both goals for Chelsea; the first was a strike in bottom corner from close range, Williamson then equalised for Arsenal in the second half through a corner, but Chelsea responded late in the game when Sam Kerr set up England to finish in an open net.[102]
Arsenal returned to the UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time since March 2014, the club qualified for the round of 32 on virtue of finishing first in the WSL in the previous season; Arsenal travelled to Florence, Italy to face Fiorentina on 12 September 2019 in what was their first European match in over five years. The "Gunners" won 4–0 with a brace (two goals) from Miedema, a far corner finish by Little, and an Evans volley setup by Mead to all but send Arsenal into the next round.[103] They later confirmed qualification when they defeated the Italian side 2–0 in the second leg at home.[104]

Round of 16
Arsenal comfortably qualified for the quarter-finals after they defeated Czech side Slavia Praha 13–2 on aggregate; Tumaini Carayol from The Guardian characterised Arsenal's 8–0 second leg win as a "rout".[105] Miedema scored seven goals over the two matches.
Arsenal were drawn against French side Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for their quarter-final tie, the legs were originally scheduled to be played in March and April 2020.[106] In March, the competition was put on hold indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, along with all other UEFA competitions and matches including UEFA Euro 2020.[107] In July, UEFA announced that the quarter-final ties were to be played over a single leg at a neutral venue behind closed doors in August; Arsenal were set to play PSG at Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastián, Spain, the home stadium of La Liga side Real Sociedad.[108] Clubs were allowed to register six new eligible players for the tie due to the extended tournament delay;[108] Summer signing Noelle Maritz started the match, whilst Australian international Steph Catley made an appearance from the substitutes bench.[109] Arsenal lost 2–1 and were knocked out from the competition, Marie-Antoinette Katoto gave PSG an early lead before Mead equalised just before the end of the first half; despite Arsenal creating good chances in the second half, PSG substitute Signe Bruun scored the winner after stealing possession deep in Arsenal's half.[110]
