What’s at stake for every club ahead of Women’s Football Weekend

Women’s Football Weekend is days away, and every club in the WSL will be taking part, with matches set for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

It’s extremely tight both at the top of the league and at the bottom going into the final stretch of the season, so here’s what every club is playing for ahead of the weekend.

After a period of time where Chelsea were second in the league, they’ve managed to go top once again. The side currently have a two-point lead and a game in hand, which puts them in a really good position to successfully defend their WSL title yet again.

But winning at Old Trafford against West Ham this weekend will be crucial.

Manchester City suffered a huge blow after getting knocked out of the FA Cup at the hands of Aston Villa. Gareth Taylor’s team will have to put aside the shocking loss, and look to make a late push for the title.

They are level on points with Manchester United, but have a goal difference of +18 compared to +29 on the other side of twon.

They arguably have the most difficult remaining fixtures as well, having to face all three of United, Arsenal, and Chelsea, who they come up against this weekend. If they can manage big performances against the rest of the top four, they may have a fighting chance at domestic glory.

It would be a long shot for Arsenal to win the title at…
