Minute-by-minute report: It’s a crunch meeting in the WSL season. Join Rob Smyth for all the latest
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Manchester City v Arsenal at the Academy Stadium. It’s a multi-context game, relevant to both the title race and the battle for Champions League places. Both teams still have ambitions to take Chelsea’s WSL title, though City in particular really can’t afford to drop points today. More importantly, perhaps, both teams want a piece of next season’s Champions League pie.
In recent years that’s been a given, but Manchester United have turned a Big Three into a Big Four, so one of these teams could miss out. Both have had frustrating seasons: Arsenal because of the long-term injuries to Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema, not to mention Sam Kerr’s late equaliser at the Emirates last month; City because they lostpoints to Aston Villa. Had they won both those games, they’d be level with the leaders Chelsea.
