"Despite sitting fourth in the Women's Super League table heading into the international break, Arsenal are being tipped as Manchester City's biggest competition in what remains of the title race. This is because they have two games in hand - winning both of these would lift them into second place, leapfrogging Chelsea and Manchester United. But with most teams having played 16 games, why have Arsenal only played 14 at this point in the season?"
"Arsenal were involved in the inaugural FIFA Women's Champions Cup, an event they went on to win, winning record prize money. They qualified for the Champions Cup thanks to their Women's Champions League victory last season, and the tournament saw them face other intercontinental champions - eventually beating Brazilian side Corinthians in the final. The final took place in early February, on a weekend when a full WSL matchday was scheduled."
Arsenal sit fourth in the Women's Super League but hold two games in hand that could lift them to second place if both are won. One postponed fixture arose because Arsenal were in the inaugural FIFA Women's Champions Cup, which they won after beating Corinthians in the final; their originally scheduled WSL match against Leicester was rescheduled for Wednesday 29 April. Another postponement occurred when the WSL clash with Brighton was called off at short notice due to a waterlogged pitch at Broadfield Stadium. Defender Lotte Wubben-Moy stepped in to support disappointed fans after the cancellation.
