Arsenal Women will host Manchester United Women at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, 10th May 2025, with kickoff at 12:30 PM UK time. This match marks the conclusion of the 2024–25 Barclays Women’s Super League season and carries significant implications for both teams’ final standings.
Arsenal enter the match on the back of two consecutive defeats, including a 5-2 loss to Aston Villa and a 4-2 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion Women. These results have opened the door for Manchester United to potentially overtake our Gunners in the league standings. A victory for United could see them leapfrog Arsenal, depending on goal difference and other results .
Manchester United, meanwhile, are coming off a 2-2 draw against Manchester City Women. They will be eager to capitalize on Arsenal’s recent slip-ups and secure a higher finish in the league.
For Arsenal, striker Alessia Russo will be keen to make an impact against her former club. Midfielder Kim Little’s experience will be vital in controlling the game’s tempo.
Manchester United will look to Ella Toone for creativity in midfield, while Leah Galton’s pace on the wing could pose problems for Arsenal’s defense.
Given both teams’ recent form and the high stakes, this match promises to be a closely contested affair. Arsenal will aim to bounce back and secure their position, while Manchester United will be motivated to capitalize on any opportunity to climb the table.
A draw seems a plausible outcome, but with home advantage and a point to prove, Arsenal might edge it. If our Gunners can take the 3 points from Man United then we’ll finish in 2nd in the WSL and secure entry into the Qualifiers for next season’s UWCL. A 3rd place finish still secures entry to the Qualifiers, but entry is at an earlier stage in the tournament – the same stage our Gunners entered at this season and we’ve gotten all the way to the Final against Barcelona – which is some going!
Are you looking forward to Saturday at the Emirates Gooners? Do you think we can put the Red Devils in their place on our home turf?

After the last two results the women need to get back to winning ways. A win or a draw and second place is assured, and it will be two games less to play in the Champions League qualifiers.
But if they were to win the Champions League, they will automatically qualify for the League stage. Should they lose tomorrow, they will have to play four qualifiers.
So come on ladies’, don’t undo all your good work under the new manager, and finish the season strong. Do something that the men couldn’t.
Get it in Ladies. 3-1 to the Arsenal. 👏🏾
Make that 4-1…😁
Much better performance compared to the last 2 games.
@Herr Drier
I’d say about an equal first half. Second half the ladies came out strong. Seems as they’ve taken their foot off and let MU back in it .
NYG, I must admit I didn’t see much of the first half, as I forgot it was on the telly.
Holding on a bit now.
4-3 to the Arsenal. 😟
If Arsenal are to even give Barcelona a game, there certainly going to need to produce a much higher performance from their defense.
It’s been shocking in the last three games. The attack can cause any team problems, but if the defense is conceding as fast as their scoring, the attack will be largely subdued to a large extent.
Come on Ladies’, sort it out. This is your big chance, don’t blow it. You may not get a better chance.
@DEREK
It seems they are just like the guys. As soon as they score, they take their foot off foot off…
NY-Gunner,
It would seem so, your right. 👍😉
