Manchester City faces their toughest battle yet in the WSL title chase when they take on Arsenal at home. If they win, the title could be theirs for the first time since 2016.
It won’t be easy though, as Chelsea must lose or draw against Bristol City to open the door for City to secure the championship. Arsenal has already secured a Champions League spot and will play to spoil City’s celebration.
Arsenal has performed impressively against top teams this season, garnering 6 points against the WSL’s top three, more than both City and Chelsea. Recent history indicates City needs a stellar performance to defeat Arsenal like they did against Chelsea in the League Cup.
