Preview

The Women's Super League is back this weekend and Chelsea have a good opportunity to strengthen their position at the top of the table with a win at their nearest rivals Arsenal.

Emma Hayes's Blues lost at the Emirates on the opening day of last season and while the Gunners are three points behind with a game in hand, the loss of star striker Vivianne Miedema to a knee injury is a huge blow.

Arsenal, who lost 3-2 at home by Manchester United in November, were also beaten by Lyon in the Champions League just before Christmas and it could be that Chelsea are quicker into their stride.

Seven of Chelsea's last eight league games have featured at least three goals, so backing them to win and over 2.5 looks the way to go.

Fourth-placed Manchester City travel to West Ham in the last of three live TV WSL offerings on Sunday and Khadija Shaw could set the Citizens on their way with the opening goal.

The Jamaica striker has scored eight league goals this season, notching first on four occasions, and her physicality could cause the fifth-placed Hammers a whole host of problems.
