Manchester United vs West Ham – Sunday, 1:00 PM (live on Sky Sports) Manchester United have yet to taste victory in their opening three games, but they earned considerable respect after a hard‑fought 1‑1 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates. After conceding seven goals in their first two outings, United appeared more organized and threatening in the second half of that match, forcing Arsenal to find a breakthrough only in the 96th minute.
The team seems most effective when playing a quick‑transition style, using technically proficient midfielders to move the ball rapidly and exploit spaces behind the opposition defence. The summer signing of Andrea Medina has added a fresh burst of pace and aggression, giving United an extra edge on the counter‑attack.
Statistically, United have taken just ten shots in the league so far – the lowest tally of any side after three matches in WSL history. Yet the squad possesses a promising creative core that includes Jess Park, Simi Awujo and, if she returns to the starting eleven, Ella Toone. Together they can supply forward Elisabeth Terland with the service she needs to become a more consistent scoring threat. As the season progresses, these attacking patterns are likely to become more fluid and dangerous.
Birmingham City vs Crystal Palace – Sunday, 2:00 PM (live on Sky Sports) Both Birmingham City and Crystal Palace are still navigating the challenges of life back in the top flight after promotion from the former WSL2. Their previous matches have been grueling – Palace even suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Tottenham – but unlike Charlton Athletic, both clubs have at least found the back of the net. The upcoming clash is expected to be a cautious affair, as each side will be keen to avoid a loss that could hand a rival a crucial three points. For clubs fighting to secure their place in the league, staying competitive against one another is essential.
Both teams have shown a preference for a more direct build‑up, which means aerial battles will be a key factor. So far this term, five players have recorded ten or more headed clearances, and four of those are likely to feature in this match. Winning those duels could determine who gains the upper hand and creates the scoring opportunities they desperately need.
Liverpool vs Everton – Sunday, 2:00 PM (live on Sky Sports) Everton have long teased Liverpool about their poor record in Merseyside derbies at Anfield, but the issue runs deeper than just that rivalry. Liverpool have stumbled in eight of their nine home league games this season, a puzzling trend that manager Gareth Taylor will be desperate to reverse. Under Taylor's guidance, Liverpool have begun to blend an attractive, possession‑based style with a pragmatic approach that actually produces results.
The Reds have already scored seven goals this campaign, surpassing their total tally from the first ten games of the previous season. Only Chelsea and Arsenal have generated more high‑press turnovers than Liverpool, indicating that Taylor's pressing scheme is beginning to function with the speed and coordination he demands. Everton, meanwhile, have managed two wins this season, both of which came via opponent own‑goals, suggesting they still need a more reliable way to find the net. Liverpool will be looking to punish their rivals and restore confidence at Anfield.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Aston Villa – Sunday, 2:00 PM (live on Sky Sports) One of the most memorable fixtures from last season was Tottenham's 7‑3 demolition of Aston Villa – a game that still resonates with fans. Tottenham have continued their attacking flair, recently scoring seven against Crystal Palace in a dazzling display of creativity. The highlight was an 86th‑minute strike by Amanda Nilden, the culmination of a 14‑pass move that involved every outfield player except one.
Manager Martin Ho has crafted a side that plays with fluid, incisive football, and avoiding defeat this weekend would extend their unbeaten run to seven league games, the longest stretch of the campaign. Since Ho took the reins in July 2025, only Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal have recorded more victories than Tottenham's 13 this season. Their rapid rise 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 (live on Sky Sports) The final showdown of the day pits two of the league's traditional powerhouses 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 head‑to‑head record evenly split at four wins apiece. A key storyline to watch is Chelsea's full‑back duo. Ellie Carpenter has already logged seven carries into the attacking third this term, a figure only surpassed by Manchester City's Lauren Hemp.
Carpenter operates like a wing‑back, combining chance creation with the ability to stretch defences, while her counterpart Katie McCabe mirrors her runs on the opposite flank. McCabe will face her former club Arsenal for the first time since departing in the summer, a scenario that can sometimes provoke heightened emotions. If harnessed correctly, the high‑risk, high‑reward style of Chelsea's full‑backs could be decisive. Arsenal, on the other hand, have been relatively passive so far, a tendency that could play straight into manager Sonia Bompastor's hands if it continues at Stamford Bridge.
Overall, Sky Sports remains the official broadcaster of the Women's Super League, delivering every match to fans across its channels. In addition to live coverage, viewers can enjoy digital highlights, in‑game clips and free‑to‑watch recaps. The weekend's schedule culminates in the marquee London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal, a clash that promises to be a fitting finale to a day packed with top‑flight football.
