Chelsea vs Arsenal match preview
Could this be the day Chelsea clinch yet another FAWSL title?
Last weekend, the Blues captured their first silverware of the season, beating Manchester United 1-0 in the FA Cup Final.
Sam Kerr, who else, the match-winner at a sold-out Wembley Stadium.
This victory ensured Chelsea are just the third club, after Southampton (1971-1973) and Arsenal (2006-09), to win three successive FA Cups.
Now, Emma Hayes’ team are seeking to complete a third consecutive double, targeting a sixth WSL title in just eight seasons.
On Wednesday night, the Blues swatted aside West Ham 4-0 at Victoria Road, with Niamh Charles, Pernille Harder, Sophie Ingle and Erin Cuthbert all scoring.
Chelsea’s final game of the season, next Saturday, is at the Madejski against Reading, a team who may already be relegated by then.
Regardless, a victory for the Blues, coupled with a draw or a Man City win in Sunday night’s Manchester derby, would crown them champions.
Arsenal came into the season hoping to dethrone Chelsea as champions, winning 3-1 when the two sides last met in the League Cup Final back in March, ending the club’s four-year trophy draught.
However, injuries have completing derailed the Gunners’ title aspirations, now needing to make sure they finish in a Champions League spot.
Jonas Eidevall’s team took a big step towards achieving this in mid-week, demolishing Everton 4-1, with Caitlin Foord, Katie McCabe and Lotte Wubben-Moy all scoring at Walton Hall.
This leaves Arsenal third, occupying the last Champions League spot, three points clear of Man City, ahead of a potentially tricky final match of the season against Aston Villa.
Three of the last five WSL meetings between these two have ended all square, while Arsenal haven’t won away to Chelsea since October 2018, this during their most-recent title-winning campaign.
Both clubs were beaten in the Champions League semi-finals earlier this month, emphasising that this will be a high-quality match.
Will Chelsea have the edge on home soil at Kingsmeadow?
Chelsea team news
Emma Hayes rotated her team for the mid-week demolition of West Ham, saving the big guns for this huge clash.
So, she could revert to the team that won the FA Cup last Sunday, with Ann-Katrin Berger, Ève Périsset, Maren Mjelde, Melanie Leupolz, Erin Cuthbert, Guro Reiten and Lauren James all returning.
England Euro 2022 winners Millie Bright and Fran Kirby both remain out long-term.
Arsenal team news
Jonas Eidevall does not have the luxury of squad depth having lost yet another player, this time Lia Wälti to a serious injury during Wednesday’s win.
The Swiss international joins Leah Williamson, Laura Wienroither, Kim Little, Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema in the treatment room.
In better news, Caitlin Foord is back, starting for the first time since 2 April in mid-week, marking the occasion by scoring twice.
