"When Chelsea and Arsenal meet in the Women's Super League, it is always a big game. The London rivals have produced some epic encounters in front of big crowds and meet again in Saturday's showdown at Stamford Bridge (12:30 GMT). For Scotland midfielder Erin Cuthbert it is always a highlight in the calendar - and there is plenty at stake this time around."
"The Blues have a six-point gap to bridge on WSL leaders Manchester City, while Arsenal cannot afford to drop out of the top three. But Cuthbert is backing her side, who have won the past six WSL titles, to chase City down and fight for the three points against Arsenal. "We now need to put as much pressure as we possibly can and hope that Manchester City drop points," Cuthbert told BBC Sport."
Erin Cuthbert treats Chelsea versus Arsenal fixtures as season highlights with significant stakes as Chelsea trail WSL leaders Manchester City by six points and Arsenal aim to remain in the top three. Chelsea have claimed the past six WSL titles and intend to ramp up pressure on Manchester City through key wins. Cuthbert has spent nearly a decade at Chelsea, winning 16 major trophies and making over 150 appearances. Intense internal competition for places drives daily training performance, and Cuthbert developed greater directness in communication under former manager Emma Hayes, an exacting but caring influence.
