Preamble

Hello and welcome to minute-by-minute coverage of Arsenal v Manchester City in the Women’s Super League. It’s the most played fixture in the league’s history and so far there’s been nothing to separate the two teams – they’ve both won 11 out of the 24 games between them.

Arsenal sit fourth in the table and will be confident after winning the inaugural Women’s Champions Cup by beating Corinthians 3-2 last week. Despite being champions of the world, they’re 13 points behind league leaders Manchester City, but they’ll be buoyed by their unbeaten run at home this season. Their only WSL loss altogether came against Manchester City in the reverse fixture.

Manchester City will also feel on top of the world after their resounding 5-1 victory over reigning champions Chelsea last week. Vivianne Miedema and Kerolin were excellent in a game that marked the end of Chelsea’s last six years of dominance. Manchester City will be keen to set a record of their own as a win today would see them equal the longest winning run in WSL history (14).
