The Women’s Football Blog game of the weekend
This weekend, there will be two ‘Women’s Football Blog’ games of the weekend. A massive clash awaits on Sunday as Manchester City host Arsenal in a battle with big implications for the title race and Champions League spots. City head into this one with momentum after a hard-fought comeback win last weekend, while Arsenal are looking to recover from a disappointing defeat. With both teams almost level on points and fighting for position behind Chelsea, this could be a season-defining fixture. Expect a high-intensity battle, with City’s attacking firepower and Arsenal’s midfield control set to make for a fascinating contest.
Manchester United head to Tottenham in one of the standout fixtures of the weekend, with both teams enjoying strong recent form. United have hit their stride, winning their last four WSL matches and building serious momentum in the race for a Champions League spot. With their attack firing on all cylinders, they’ll be confident of keeping that streak going.
Spurs, however, won’t be easy to break down. They’ve gone unbeaten in their last four league games, winning three and drawing one, and continue to prove they’re a real threat in the top half of the table. With home advantage and a well-organized side, they’ll be determined to put a stop to United’s winning run. Can United keep their streak alive, or will Spurs prove too tough to crack?
