Arsenal (W)
- Arsenal (W) have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five matches.
- Arsenal (W) are unbeaten at home in the Super League Women 2025-2026, but they have drawn as many as they have won (three each) and will host Manchester City (W) on Sunday.
- But their home form has been a bit patchy with just one win in four, suggesting City will be up for the game.
- Slegers has some creative midfielders at her disposal to unlock defenses and change the pace of games, and when she gets them on the front foot, the Gunners are a handful.
- When Arsenal press, they can win the ball high up the pitch and get into their stride quickly, but they will surely be tested by a City side that likes to play a more controlled game.
Manchester City (W)
- Manchester City (W) have won four of their last five fixtures, including back-to-back away wins.
- City have won five of their six away matches, conceding an average of one goal per game in the league.
- Andrée Jeglertz’ 4-3-3 system has the Blues working the ball patiently from the back, keeping the width on the field with his full-backs overlapping the wingers and keeping the play in the attacking half.
- City have scored 15 goals in their last 5 matches across all competitions and look ruthless in attack, while Arsenal have averaged 1.50 goals per home game this season.
Head-to-Head
City have a head-to-head advantage over Arsenal with two wins to one in the last four matches and one draw.
Key Players
- Khadija Shaw is the in-form striker in the league with 14 goals in 14 appearances this season.
- Kerolin has been in fine form lately, netting 5 of City's last 15 goals.
- Alessia Russo is Arsenal’s top scorer with five in 13 in the league, so Russo will have to be marked closely on Sunday.
Betting Insights
- The Blues are slight favourites at 2.46 to win this one, but Arsenal are a short 2.62 to take the spoils.
- Hence, backing over 2.5 goals at 1.7 looks the best way to go on Sunday, with both teams scoring and City winning the game.
Prediction
City have a head-to-head advantage over Arsenal with two wins to one in the last four matches and one draw and look good value to nick the win in what is likely to be an end-to-end thriller.
