At first glance, Chelsea and Arsenal’s top-of-the-table clash in the Women’s Super League tonight has all the ingredients needed to be a classic title decider. We may only be in February, but both teams have entered the run-in and come into this Friday night encounter under the lights at Kingsmeadow separated bytwo points with less than 10 matches to go this season.
A victory for Chelsea would see the defending WSL champions overtake Arsenal and go top of the table for the first time this campaign, and with a game in hand. Arsenal are in need of a response after dropping points in three of their last four league fixtures and restoring their four-point lead at the top would appear to move the Gunners into a commanding position.
