After some midweek cup action, we’re already gearing up for week 12 of the Women’s Super League. The weekend kicks off on Saturday with Aston Villa taking on Manchester City. It’s been a rough couple of weeks for City, with injuries piling up and a tough outing in week 11 that they’ll be eager to bounce back from.
But the real headline comes on Sunday: Chelsea vs. Arsenal. Chelsea have been almost unstoppable this season, with just one draw since Sonia Bompastor took charge. On the other hand, Arsenal have been flying high under Renee Slegers, and this match will be their first big test in the WSL. Can Arsenal put an end to Chelsea’s dominance, or will it be business as usual in the league?

The Women’s Football Blog game of the weekend
This weekend, all eyes are on the big London Derby: Chelsea vs. Arsenal—the Women’s Football Blog game of the weekend! Chelsea have been in top form this season, with just one draw before the winter break, while Arsenal remain unbeaten under their new head coach, Renee Slegers.
Both sides were in action midweek for the Subway Cup and cruised through with ease. That said, Arsenal had the tougher challenge on paper but handled it comfortably in the end.
Chelsea, playing at Stamford Bridge, are undoubtedly the favorites, but for Arsenal, this match is a crucial opportunity to claw their way back into the title race.
So, who’s your pick for the win?
