The most impressive side these last six matches in the WSL have been Manchester city, who are on an excellent run of form. They have lost two matches in all competitions since September and have won their last five WSL matches. They have had some incredible results beating Arsenal 2-1 back in February and recently beating current league holders Chelsea, by two goals to nil, last weekend. The last time that Chelsea couldn't score a goal in a match was back in February 2022, over a year ago, in their goalless draw against Arsenal.
Emma Hayes' side ended their unbeaten run this calendar year in the WSL at the weekend, after loosing by two goals to nil against Manchester City. This is only Chelsea's second loss in the WSL this season, along with Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal, who has all also only lost twice each this season. Last weekend in the Champions League against Lyon, Chelsea captain Millie Bright was forced to exit the pitch due to a muscle injury. This resulted in her being left out of Manchester City's matchday squad. She is hoping to be back soon, in return for the next WSL match against Aston Villa.
Although Arsenal currently sit 4th, which is not where they would want to be, they have had have three consecutive wins in a row beating Spurs, Reading and Liverpool. However, they arguably have the toughest run yet, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea all still to play them.
Manchester United are currently top of the WSL table and have been on excellent form. They recently battered West Ham by four goals to nil and at the moment, they look unstoppable. We will have to see where these last six games take us, and who can become victorious.
