Arsenal Women will travel to Manchester City’s Joie Stadium, on Sunday 5th May, to face the top-of-table Citizens, in their penultimate WSL clash of the 2023-24 season. The match kick’s off at 2.15PM UK, and will be shown live on BBC.
Our Gunners are well and truly out of the WSL title race, sitting 8 points behind front-runners City, and 2 points behind 2nd placed Chelsea – who still have 2 games in hand. Arsenal’s underwhelming 1-1 draw against an injury-ravaged, 9th placed, Everton Women last Sunday, sealed Arsenal’s 3rd place fate, but they will still be hoping to finish the season strongly in their final 2 matches of this campaign.
Meanwhile, Manchester City remain on course to finish in top spot, as they have opened up a six-point gap on second-placed Chelsea, who have an inferior goal difference – fueled by Man City’s emphatic 4-0 win over Bristol City last Sunday. The Robins are now relegated to the Championship, while Crystal Palace are newly-promoted to the WSL next season.
We can expect a blockbuster WSL clash between Man City and Arsenal Women next Sunday, where Gareth Taylor’s side will be pushing to earn a WSL-record 15th successive victory. The Citizen’s are certainly flying this season, but Arsenal Women are well-placed to put a spanner in the works..
