A pitchside DJ set, performed by Locky from Rudimental, is blasting out through the sound system at the Emirates as everybody gears up for the WSL’s game of the day, so perhaps it would be fitting if Arsenal’s performance today showed that they are ‘Not giving in’ when it comes to this season’s fight for the European places. A defeat today would leave the 2025 European champions an alarming nine points off a Champions League spot, but a victory would throw them right back into the European race.
These days’ you can’t just assume it will be the usual sides dominating the top three sides, with big-spending London City Lionesses trying to upset the established order, and this is a potentially pivotal day in both these two sides’ campaigns. It’s one of the WSL’s founding teams against the newbies, it’s Putellas against Williamson, it’s Russo against Earps and it really ought to be quite enjoyable.
