Arsenal vs Chelsea: Women's Super League preview

The WSL heavyweights face off at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, with Arsenal looking to close the gap on their London rivals.

Arsenal sit fifth due a poor run of form earlier in the season, where they went three WSL games without a win - drawing to Manchester United and Aston Villa, and losing away to Manchester City.

Renee Slegers' side have since steadied the ship and come into this match against Chelsea having won back-to-back WSL matches for the first time since the opening two games of the season.

Their emphatic 4-1 victory over Leicester last time out suggests they might just be finding form at the right time.

Chelsea, meanwhile, will be aiming to extend their impressive 29-game unbeaten streak in the league under Sonia Bompastor.

The Blues have only dropped points just once this season in a draw against Manchester United, and their 2-0 victory over London City Lionesses after the international break will leave them oozing with confidence.

With Manchester United also in action at midday and capable of leapfrogging the champions if they slip up, Bompastor’s side will be keen to keep their grip on top spot intact.

For Arsenal, it’s a chance to make a statement and perhaps reignite their title challenge in front of a packed Emirates crowd.

Arsenal vs Chelsea: The teams

Arsenal's club-record signing Olivia Smith missed last weekend's match after sustaining an injury on international duty with Canada.

Her absence led Slegers to start with both Alessia Russo and Stina Blackstenius, giving the Swede just her second start of the campaign.

Following the match, the Arsenal boss said: "Both of them usually play as the nine, but they are different nines with different qualities. Today they complemented each other well and played their roles in an excellent way."

It will be interesting to see whether Slegers adopts a similar tactic against Chelsea.

Chelsea's squad depth remains a theme of their season, enabling them to rotate without losing strength.

The Lucy Bronze or Ellie Carpenter debate has been put on hold as Bompastor showed she can play both, per her starting line up last weekend.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Arsenal 2-2 Chelsea

Arsenal need something from this game to ensure they don't fall behind, but Chelsea's unbeaten streak won't be ended at the Emirates. Expect some impressive goals in this London derby.
