"Tensions will be high in the capital this weekend as the Women's Super League fixtures include two crucial London derbies. The first sees Champions League holders Arsenal host reigning WSL champions Chelsea in a massive clash at the Emirates Stadium. That will be one of two games taking place on Saturday as Manchester United look to continue their unbeaten start in the league against Aston Villa. The other London derby sees Tottenham take on London City Lionesses at the Copperjax Community Stadium."
"Following their win against the Lionesses last time out, Chelsea remain unbeaten in each of their last 32 WSL games (W28 D4) and could equal the longest unbeaten run in the competition's history, set by the Blues themselves between February 2019 and January 2021 (W26 D7) this weekend. But Arsenal's home form has been imperious. The Gunners have lost just one of their last 24 home matches in the WSL (W20 D3), though that defeat did come against Chelsea (2-1 loss) in October last year."
Two London derbies headline the upcoming Women's Super League weekend, with Arsenal hosting Chelsea at the Emirates and Tottenham facing London City Lionesses at Copperjax. Manchester United play Aston Villa as part of Saturday's schedule, while Manchester City travel to Everton to round out MD8. Chelsea have gone 32 WSL matches unbeaten (W28 D4) and could match their own longest run (W26 D7 between Feb 2019 and Jan 2021). Arsenal have lost only one of their last 24 WSL home games (W20 D3). Opta predicts a Chelsea victory, giving them a 48.2% chance.
