A big result in the Champions League on Thursday for Arsenal.
Arsenal continue to be a sharp thorn in the side of the European champions, Barcelona, and they dug deep to hold on to a draw at the Camp Nou on Thursday night. Frida Maanum put the Gunners ahead despite a hugely dominant performance from Barcelona, but Caroline Graham Hansen’s equaliser ensured the spoils would be shared.
Last time out in the WSL.
At the top of the WSL on Saturday, an important win for Chelsea.
Pragmatic, resolute and gutsy. Sonia Bompastor showed her ruthless side and delivered a tactical masterclass as Chelsea earned a 1-0 win over Manchester City and leapfrogged them at the top of the Women’s Super League.
A London derby, and one where Arsenal are the chasers of the nascent force in the capital city. The big spenders are the team based in Bromley, and currently six points on Arsenal. A quick turnaround for Arsenal, having drawn at Barcelona on Thursday. London City are third in the WSL, and on course for the Champions League. The Gunners have yet to win at home in this season’s WSL. Renee Sleegers’ team have drawn all four of their home league matches this season and sit sixth. Sleegers remains under pressure.
Kick-off at 4.30pm UK time, join me.
