Get ready for a weekend of high‑octane Women's Super League action as Sky Sports rolls out live coverage of all seven fixtures, featuring two marquee derby clashes that promise plenty of drama. The schedule includes Manchester United versus West Ham, Birmingham City taking on Crystal Palace, the Merseyside showdown between Liverpool and Everton, Tottenham Hotspur facing Aston Villa, and the headline‑grabbing London derby of Chelsea against Arsenal.
Each match will be streamed live on Sky Sports, offering fans a comprehensive look at the league’s top talent. **Manchester United vs West Ham – Sunday, 1:00 pm** Manchester United enter this fixture on the back of three opening games without a win, yet they earned a respectable 1‑1 draw against Arsenal that showcased a growing resilience. After a difficult start that saw them concede seven goals in their first two outings, United appeared more organized and threatening at the Emirates Stadium, forcing Arsenal to find a breakthrough only in the 96th minute. United’s style thrives on swift counter‑attacks, with technically adept midfielders capable of moving the ball quickly and exploiting gaps behind the opposition defence.
The arrival of Andrea Medina this summer has added a new dimension of raw speed and aggression to their play, making them a more potent threat on the break. Statistically, United have registered just ten shots across their first three WSL matches – the lowest tally for any team in the opening trio of games in league history.
However, they possess a creative core that includes Jess Park, Simi Awujo and, if she returns to the starting eleven, Ella Toone. This unit has the ability to supply forward Elisabeth Terland with quality service, potentially increasing United’s goal‑scoring consistency as the season progresses.
The evolving patterns of play suggest that United could become a more dangerous attacking side as they settle into the league. **Birmingham City vs Crystal Palace – Sunday, 2:00 pm** Both Birmingham City and Crystal Palace are still navigating the challenges of life after promotion from the WSL2.
Their previous outings were tough – Palace suffered a heavy defeat to Tottenham – but both teams have managed to get on the scoresheet, a small triumph compared to Charlton Athletic’s ongoing struggle for points. This encounter is likely to be cautious, as each side will aim to avoid a loss that could give the other a foothold in the league table. Survival will be a primary concern for both clubs, making a competitive and tightly contested match essential.
Both sides have shown a propensity for more direct, vertical football, meaning aerial battles will be crucial. So far this term, five players have recorded ten or more headed clearances, and four of those are expected to feature in this game. Winning those duels could provide the platform for a decisive breakthrough, especially in a match where margins are expected to be slim. **Liverpool vs Everton – Sunday, 2:00 pm** Everton have long teased Liverpool about their poor record in the Merseyside derby at Anfield, but the issue extends beyond the rivalry.
Liverpool have lost eight of their nine home league games this season, a curious statistic that manager Gareth Taylor is eager to reverse. Under Taylor’s guidance, Liverpool have begun to blend an attractive, possession‑based style with a pragmatic approach that yields results.
The Reds have already netted seven goals this season, surpassing their total from the first ten games of the previous campaign. Only Chelsea and Arsenal have generated more high‑press turnovers, indicating that Liverpool’s press is beginning to operate with the speed and coordination Taylor demands.
Everton, meanwhile, have enjoyed a modest run of form, though both of their victories have come via own goals. Liverpool will be keen to impose their pressing game and capitalize on any defensive lapses from the Toffees.
**Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa – Sunday, 2:00 pm** One of the most memorable fixtures from last season was Tottenham’s electrifying 7‑3 victory over Aston Villa, a match that remains vivid in the minds of fans. Spurs have continued their attacking flair, recently scoring seven goals against Crystal Palace in a display of creativity and confidence.
A standout moment came in the 86th minute when Amanda Nilsen finished a 14‑pass move that involved almost every outfield player, highlighting the fluid, free‑flowing football that manager Martin Ho has instilled. If Tottenham can avoid defeat this weekend, they will extend their unbeaten run to seven league games – their longest stretch without a loss in recent memory. Since Ho took the reins in July 2025, only Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal have secured more wins than Tottenham’s impressive tally of 13 victories.
Their rapid ascent makes them a team to watch as several clubs vie for a place among the league’s elite. **Chelsea vs Arsenal – Sunday, 4:30 pm** The final match of the day is the much‑anticipated London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal, marking the tenth meeting between the two sides across all competitions since the start of the 2023/24 season. The rivalry is evenly balanced, with each club having claimed four wins.
Chelsea’s full‑backs are likely to play a pivotal role in this encounter. Ellie Carpenter, who has logged seven carries into the final third this term, ranks just behind Manchester City’s Lauren Hemp in terms of forward runs. Carpenter’s wing‑back style combines defensive solidity with an ability to stretch play and create chances.
Opposite her, Katie McCabe provides a similarly dynamic presence on the other flank. McCabe’s return to face Arsenal for the first time since her summer departure adds an extra layer of intrigue, as her high‑risk, high‑reward approach could tip the balance in Chelsea’s favour. Arsenal, on the other hand, have been relatively passive so far this season, a trend that could play directly into manager Sonia Bompastor’s hands if it continues at Stamford Bridge.
The tactical battle between Chelsea’s aggressive full‑back play and Arsenal’s more restrained approach promises to be a key storyline. **Overall Coverage** Sky Sports remains the official broadcaster of the Women’s Super League, delivering live coverage of every match this weekend across its channels.
