Prior to the international break, City's triumph against reigning champions Chelsea placed both teams on equal footing in terms of points (34) and goal difference (+28), with only the number of goals scored giving the reigning champions the slight advantage.
All three teams have been severely impacted by significant injuries. Chelsea are missing key strikers Sam Kerr and Mia Fishel, with both sidelined with ACL injuries, City's star summer acquisition, Jill Roord, suffered a similar fate in January, while Arsenal's defensive line has been plagued by short-term injuries.
