No room for error as WSL’s leading trio face pressure cooker of a run-in | Karen Carney
A loss for champions Chelsea, Manchester City or Arsenal during the final seven games could well prove decisive
After the Premier League title race took centre stage last Sunday with Liverpool v Manchester City headlining, the Women’s Super League has a potentially defining Friday when Chelsea host Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. As in the Premier League, there is a three-horse race in the WSL for top spot. Chelsea lead the way, level on points with Manchester City, with Arsenal three points behind.
In a 12-team division the champions have never lost more than two games. Chelsea and City have reached that mark, while the Gunners have suffered three defeats. Whoever lifts the trophy may need to be flawless in the final seven games.
