"The Women's Super League is back after the winter break, with the league table poised nicely ahead of the second half of the season. Manchester City sit six points clear at the summit, taking full advantage of Chelsea's slight slip-up during their incredible winning streak. Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham are still in the mix for the Champions League places, with the former pair kicking off the weekend with a blockbuster clash that could shake things up at the top."

The latter face winless Liverpool in Eder Maestre's first game in charge, while Rita Guarino's first test comes against reigning champions Chelsea. But who is expected to start 2026 on a high note? Here, with the help of the Opta supercomputer, we look ahead to MD12."
