"All eyes are back on the Women's Super League this weekend, and it gets underway with a clash between familiar foes. Reigning champions Chelsea won their sixth straight WSL title last season, with Sonia Bompastor impressing in her debut campaign, and they welcome Manchester City to Stamford Bridge for their opener. The Citizens were not at their best in 2024-25, resulting in Gareth Taylor's departure mid-season, and Andree Jeglertz, former Denmark head coach, has stepped into the dugout to try and change their fortunes."
"Unsurprisingly, given they have won the last six WSL titles in a row, Chelsea are expected to lift the trophy again in May, with the Opta supercomputer rating their chances at 72.3%. City are their closest competitors according to the predictive model, with a 13.7% chance of winning the title, while Arsenal are not far behind them at 10.1%. Manchester United are the only other team in the mix, though their hopes are a slim 3.9%."
Chelsea begin the new WSL season as six-time consecutive champions and host Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, with Sonia Bompastor having impressed in her debut campaign. Manchester City endured a disappointing 2024-25, prompting Gareth Taylor's mid-season exit and the appointment of Andree Jeglertz to arrest their decline. City last won the league nearly a decade ago and face a challenging task to halt Chelsea's dominance. Opta's predictive model rates Chelsea's title chances at 72.3%, with City at 13.7%, Arsenal 10.1% and Manchester United 3.9%. Chelsea won four of five meetings with City last season and hold recent home dominance.
