"Manchester City leapfrogged Chelsea at the summit by beating Everton 2-1 last week, while Sonia Bompastor's Blues could only manage a 1-1 draw at Arsenal. Despite their new status as leaders, City are only assigned a 26.2% chance of winning the title by the Opta supercomputer, with Chelsea retaining their crown in 69.7% of simulations. The Blues are unbeaten in 33 league games, and they could make a piece of competition history on Sunday."
"The first game of the weekend is arguably the biggest, as City look to extend their seven-game winning streak in the WSL - their longest run since 14 straight victories from November 2023 to April 2024. City have 21 points from their eight games this term (one loss), only earning more points at this stage of a campaign in 2017-18 (22). They lost 4-2 to United at the Etihad in January, with that their first home defeat to their rivals in the WSL."
