Arsenal Women will kick-off the new year with one of the biggest fixtures on the calendar when they welcome title rivals Chelsea to the Emirates this weekend.
Last season, the Gunners narrowly missed out on the trophy when Emma Hayes ' side pipped them by just a single point. This term, it's not just the holders they have to contend with as Manchester United have also put themselves within touching distance.
The title race will likely go right to the wire and Jonas Eidevall's side will need a near-perfect second half of the season if they're to keep the pace at the top of the table. In the first half of the campaign, they've been beaten just once in the league as United came from behind to secure a 3-2 victory at the Emirates back in November.
