Get ready for an action‑packed weekend of Women’s Super League football, with every one of the seven fixtures being shown live on Sky Sports. From the high‑stakes Manchester United clash with West Ham to the marquee London showdown between Chelsea and Arsenal, fans can expect a blend of tactical intrigue, emerging talent and the occasional surprise that defines this growing competition.
Manchester United vs West Ham – Sunday, 1:00 pm (Sky Sports) United have yet to taste victory in their opening three league outings, but the 1‑1 stalemate against Arsenal at the Emirates gave them a glimpse of resilience after a rocky start that saw them concede seven goals in their first two matches. The side, guided by Eva Olid, appeared more composed in the second half, forcing Arsenal into a last‑minute equaliser in the 96th minute. United’s strength lies in rapid counter‑attacks, with technically adept midfielders capable of threading the ball through tight spaces and exploiting gaps behind the defence. Since Andrea Medina’s arrival over the summer, her pace and tenacity have added a new dimension to the team’s forward thrusts.
Statistically, United have recorded only ten shots across the three games – the fewest among all clubs at this stage of the season – underscoring a need for greater offensive output. However, the creative unit that includes Jess Park, Simi Awujo and the potential return of Ella Toone offers a promising supply line for striker Elisabeth Terland.
As the team continues to gel, expect their attacking patterns to become more fluid, creating more clear‑cut chances and, ultimately, the goals they so desperately require. Birmingham City vs Crystal Palace – Sunday, 2:00 pm (Sky Sports) Both Birmingham and Crystal Palace are still navigating the challenges of life after promotion from the WSL2.
Their recent fixtures have been a mixed bag, with Palace enjoying a morale‑boosting win over Tottenham, while Birmingham have struggled to find consistency. Nevertheless, both clubs have managed to get on the scoresheet – a small but significant achievement compared with the barren spell endured by Charlton Athletic. Given the stakes of remaining in the top tier, this encounter is likely to be cautious, with each side wary of conceding an early advantage.
The match will probably feature a more direct style of play, emphasizing aerial battles. So far this season, five players have recorded ten or more headed clearances, and four of them are expected to feature in this fixture. Winning those duels could prove decisive, as possession won in the air often translates into the ability to launch quick transitions or retain defensive solidity. Liverpool vs Everton – Sunday, 2:00 pm (Sky Sports) Everton have long teased Liverpool about their poor record in Merseyside derbies, particularly at Anfield, where the Reds have lost eight of their nine league games.
This trend is not confined to the derby; Liverpool’s overall home form has been shaky, with a string of defeats that have left supporters uneasy. Under Gareth Taylor, Liverpool appear to be finding a more attractive rhythm, blending an expansive style with a pragmatic approach that finally yields results.
The side has already netted seven goals this season, surpassing their tally from the first ten games of the previous campaign. Only Chelsea and Arsenal have forced a higher number of high‑press turnovers, indicating that Taylor’s pressing scheme is beginning to function as intended. Everton’s recent victories have been fortuitous, each coming via an own goal, suggesting a degree of luck rather than dominance.
Liverpool will likely aim to exploit this vulnerability, applying sustained pressure and seeking to dominate possession in the final third. Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa – Sunday, 2:00 pm (Sky Sports) Last season’s unforgettable 7‑3 thriller between Tottenham and Villa remains fresh in fans’ minds, and Spurs have continued their attacking flair by scoring seven against Crystal Palace in a recent match. That performance signalled a clear intent: Tottenham are not merely content with mid‑table security; they want to be noticed as genuine contenders. A standout moment came in the 86th minute when Amanda Nilsen finished a 14‑pass move that involved almost every outfield player, showcasing the team’s fluid, possession‑based approach under manager Martin Ho.
Maintaining an unbeaten run this weekend would extend Tottenham’s longest league streak to seven games, a notable achievement given the club’s recent history. Since Ho’s appointment in July 2025, only Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal have accumulated more wins than Tottenham’s current 13‑match haul.
This rapid ascent places the club among the few battling for a top‑four finish, making every fixture a potential stepping stone toward that goal. Chelsea vs Arsenal – Sunday, 4:30 pm (Sky Sports) The weekend’s headline act pits two of the league’s most storied clubs against each other. This will be the tenth meeting between Chelsea and Arsenal across all competitions since the start of the 2023/24 season, with the series level at four wins apiece. Both teams have shown flashes of brilliance, but the match could be decided by the contributions of their full‑backs.
Ellie Carpenter has logged the most carries into the final third of any player this term, surpassing even Manchester City’s Lauren Hemp. Her ability to operate like an inverted winger—creating chances and stretching opposition defences—makes her a pivotal figure on the left flank.
Opposite her, Katie McCabe provides a similar threat on the right, offering width and an eye for goal. A subplot adds intrigue: McCabe will face Arsenal for the first time since her summer departure, and her history of emotive performances could either spark inspiration or cause a lapse in concentration. Nevertheless, if Chelsea can harness the high‑risk, high‑reward style of their full‑back duo, they stand a strong chance of outmaneuvering Arsenal’s more passive approach to date. Such a strategy would also play into manager Sonia Bompastor’s hands, giving her the platform to dictate tempo and exploit any defensive frailties.
