The weekend’s Women’s Super League schedule promises a double dose of derby drama, with every fixture streamed live on Sky Sports. Fans are urged to use the Chrome browser for the best video experience. Manchester United vs West Ham United – Sunday, 1:00 pm (Sky Sports) Manchester United have yet to taste victory in their first three league outings, but they earned a respectable point after a hard‑fought 1‑1 draw at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium last week.
After conceding seven goals in their opening two games, United appeared more composed and threatening in the second half, finally breaking the deadlock in the 96th minute. The team seems most effective when it exploits counter‑attacking opportunities, using quick‑thinking midfielders to shift the ball forward and exploit gaps behind the opposition defence.
Since joining in the summer, Andrea Medina has added a fresh burst of speed and tenacity, complementing the technical abilities of players like Eva Olid. United have recorded just ten shots this season – the lowest tally of any side after three matches – but the quality of those attempts has improved. With creative talents such as Jess Park, Simi Awujo and the potential return of Ella Toone, the Red Devils have the tools to supply forward Elisabeth Terland with more consistent scoring chances.
As the season progresses, these attacking patterns should become more fluid and potent. Birmingham City vs Crystal Palace – Sunday, 2:00 pm (Sky Sports) Both Birmingham City and Crystal Palace are still adapting after their promotion from the WSL2, and each suffered a tough result in their most recent games – Palace were humbled by Tottenham, while Birmingham endured a similarly bruising defeat.
Nonetheless, both clubs managed to find the net, a small consolation compared with Charlton’s winless run. The upcoming clash is likely to be a cautious affair, with each side keen to avoid a loss that could give a rival an early advantage in the fight for survival. For clubs that may need to battle hard to stay in the top flight, maintaining competitiveness against one another is essential.
Both teams have shown a preference for a more direct build‑up, meaning aerial battles will be decisive. So far this term, five players have recorded ten or more headed clearances, and four of those are expected to feature in this match, underscoring the importance of winning the air.
Liverpool vs Everton – Sunday, 2:00 pm (Sky Sports) Everton have long teased Liverpool about their dismal record in Merseyside derbies at Anfield, but the issue extends beyond that rivalry. Liverpool have lost eight of their nine home league games this season, a strange pattern that manager Gareth Taylor is eager to reverse. Under Taylor’s guidance, the Reds have begun to blend an attractive attacking style with a pragmatic approach that can actually secure points.
Liverpool have already scored seven goals this campaign, already exceeding their tally from the first ten games of the previous season. Only Chelsea and Arsenal have forced more high‑intensity turnovers, suggesting that Liverpool’s press is beginning to operate with the speed and coordination Taylor demands. Everton, meanwhile, have secured two wins this season, both coming via own goals, highlighting the need for a more decisive attacking plan. Liverpool will be looking to punish any defensive lapses from the Toffees and restore confidence at Anfield.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa – Sunday, 2:00 pm (Sky Sports) One of the most memorable fixtures of the previous campaign was Tottenham’s exhilarating 7‑3 victory over Aston Villa, a game that still resonates with supporters. Spurs have continued their high‑scoring form, netting seven goals against Crystal Palace last week in a display of flair and creativity that felt like a bold statement to the league.
A particular highlight was Amanda Nilden’s 86th‑minute strike, the culmination of a 14‑pass move that involved every outfield player except the goalkeeper, showcasing manager Martin Ho’s emphasis on fluid, possession‑based football. Maintaining an unbeaten run this weekend would extend Tottenham’s longest league streak to seven matches. Since Ho’s appointment in July 2025, only Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal have recorded more victories than Tottenham’s impressive 13‑win haul, indicating a rapid rise that could see the club challenge for a top‑four finish.
Chelsea vs Arsenal – Sunday, 4:30 pm (Sky Sports) The marquee matchup of the weekend pits Chelsea against Arsenal in a clash that marks the tenth meeting between the two sides across all competitions since the start of the 2023/24 season, with the head‑to‑head record balanced at four wins each. A key subplot centers on Chelsea’s full‑backs, particularly Ellie Carpenter, who has logged more carries into the final third than any other player except Manchester City’s Lauren Hemp. Carpenter’s wing‑back style blends defensive solidity with the ability to stretch opposition lines and create scoring opportunities. She is paired with Katie McCabe on the opposite flank, forming a dynamic partnership that can swing the game in Chelsea’s favour.
McCabe, returning to face her former club for the first time since her summer departure, brings a high‑risk, high‑reward mindset that could prove decisive if harnessed correctly. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s recent performances have been relatively passive, a trend that could play into Sonia Bompastor’s hands if it continues at Stamford Bridge. Overall, Sky Sports remains the official broadcaster of the Women’s Super League, delivering all seven fixtures live this weekend and culminating in the high‑profile London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal.
