Doors open at 2.30p.
With the men's side on hiatus until the end of the month, the BG spotlight is back on Arsenal Women as they gear up for a high-stakes clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Despite an unexpected blip, Arsenal have shown impressive form in the Women's Super League since the beginning of the year and currently sit third in the table. The Gunners have a golden opportunity to break the WSL title race wide open against the Blues, who are again perched at the summit, on goal difference. Arsenal's confidence is bolstered by their emphatic victory over the hosts in the reverse fixture at a packed, electric Emirates Stadium in December. A win for Jonas Eidevall's side would bring them level on points into a three-way tie for first place, pending Manchester City's result on Sunday.
Chelsea's squad has faced significant challenges this season, losing captain Millie Bright to a bad knee and three other players including star striker Sam Kerr to the ACL bug. Yet the Blues have remained remarkably resilient under manager Emma Hayes and continue to be a formidable force. Another layer of intrigue for this clash is both sides will meet again at the end of the month to compete for the Continental League Cup– a competition Arsenal memorably won at Chelsea's expense last season. The impending departure of Hayes for the USWNT adds an extra element of uncertainty to her club's future, making this encounter and the upcoming cup final potentially pivotal moments in the evolving narrative of top-flight women's football.
Whether you’re a newbie or veteran to either BG and/or the WSL, this is the perfect opportunity to join us and show Gooners everywhere how we support Arsenal, period.
