Its the juxtaposition of sisters. Arya's training has been largely physical whereas Sansa's experiences have been largely mental/political.
Arya's a fighter, she sees conflict in the forms of good or evil, Sansa's the politician, she understands conflict in terms of men, materiel and political manipulation for power.
Arya is woefully unequipped to deal with someone of Littlefinger's skills and caliber whereas Sansa could go toe-to-toe, similarly Sansa wouldnt last two seconds in a fight against Brienne whereas Arya could hold her own.
