There’s no time to catch a breather for the internationals in the Women’s Super League as we dive straight into the final block of matches for the year. Week 9 kicks off on Sunday with a fierce encounter between Manchester United and Liverpool. Both sides are looking to find their form—United have faltered in recent weeks, while Liverpool have struggled to gain momentum all season. With players returning from international duty, it’ll be fascinating to see how they reintegrate into their squads. This highly anticipated clash is our Women’s Football Blog Game of the Weekend.

Later in the day, Manchester City host Leicester City, while Chelsea welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Kingsmeadow. The big question is: can the Seagulls be the team to finally break Chelsea’s relentless winning streak? Or will the Blues once again rise to the occasion and cement their dominance?

For Arsenal, the focus shifts back to domestic action under interim manager Renee Slegers. A home game against Aston Villa offers an opportunity to build on their pre-international break momentum. However, some of the Gunners are returning with heavy hearts—Irish and Austrian players will still be reeling from their nations narrowly missing out on Euro 2025 qualification. It’s a tough test of mental resilience as they look to channel that disappointment into a strong performance on the pitch.

Stay tuned—Gameweek 9 promises drama, determination, and a reminder of why the WSL is one of the most exciting leagues in women’s football.
