2024/25 WSL season: The story so far
The main storyline of the current season so far has been the resignation of Arsenal's Jonas Eidevall.
The manager quit the Gunners in October after an underwhelming start to the season saw supporters aim criticism at the boss.
Arsenal experienced the new manager bounce with interim boss Renee Slegers with an unbeaten run so far with the boss in charge.
The title race is another story which bubbles away as the season goes on. After eight rounds it looks as though it will be a two-way shootout between Manchester City and Chelsea but the WSL can all change in one result.

Brighton are also quietly going about their business. They are third, eight points behind leaders Chelsea.
And while the title contenders are discussed, the relegation battle can too get tasty in the English top-flight. Newly promoted Crystal Palace had found their feet in the league but a tight battle means they are now bottom, remember only one team gets relegated at the end of the season.

In FourFourTwo's view Everton are the club most likely to be relegated this season with Palace a close second.
While ACL injuries were more prevalent last season, this campaign has not managed to escape them completely.
Everton have sustained two with Aurora Galli and Inma Gabarro, while Liverpool have Sofie Lundgaard sat on the sidelines and Chelsea have Kadeisha Buchanan out.
2024/25 WSL season: New TV deals
Sky have announced they have a new five-year deal from 2025/26 season where they will show 90% of WSL matches.
That means every season the broadcaster will show 78 games exclusively.
The TV deals do not stop there as the BBC have committed to also broadcasting the WSL until 2030.
The broadcasting rights across both deals are reportedly worth £65m.
