Chelsea to win weekend highlight

North London’s Emirates Stadium plays host to the headline match in the opening weekend of the Women’s Super League as reigning champions Chelsea lock horns with an Arsenal side who themselves harbour hopes of a title challenge.

Emma Hayes will be disappointed with the way her team crumbled in the final of last season’s Champions League but they were ruthless domestically, winning 18 of their 22 Women’s Super League fixtures.

They took four points from Arsenal last season – winning the most recent league meeting back in February – and they can justify favouritism this weekend but the Gunners will certainly hope to be more competitive this season.

Arsenal squeezed into the top three thanks to their second half of the season but are under new management this term with Jonas Eidevall coming in while Nikita Parris and Mana Iwabuchi are great attacking additions.

They have recruited well and can make this a competitive fixture in their own backyard but Chelsea have brought in Lauren James and Aniek Nouwen this summer and can boast two of the fiercest forwards in the division in Fran Kirby and Sam Kerr. Chelsea to win 2-1 looks the best correct score prediction.
