"LONDON, England -- A profligate, lacklustre 0-0 draw between would-be heavyweights Manchester United and Arsenal showed why neither side are good enough to win the Women's Super League (WSL) and why, for a second consecutive season, there may be no real title race. Last season, it was Chelsea who stormed ahead in the league, taking advantage of Arsenal's slow start to finish 12 points clear at the top of the table."
"Now, City are in pole position to secure a first title in a decade and the only real beneficiaries of Arsenal and United's profligacy at the Emirates to open their accounts for 2026, adding two points to an already gaping gulf that could be 10 points by Sunday afternoon if City are to beat Everton. Neither Arsenal nor United have been able to defeat a top-four team this season, claiming only three from a possible 12."
A profligate, lacklustre 0-0 draw between Manchester United and Arsenal left both sides appearing unready to challenge for the WSL title. Neither team has beaten a top-four opponent this season, taking only three points from 12. Chelsea stormed away last season to finish 12 points clear, and Manchester City now sit in pole position to potentially open a double-digit gap. City's advantage could widen if they beat Everton. Arsenal dominated the match but failed to convert chances, and their dropped points strengthen the case that there may be no genuine title race this season.
