The Barclays Women’s Super League is back! The last round of fixtures before the winter break took place on the weekend of the 13th and 14th of December and saw Manchester City go into the break six points clear of Chelsea at the top of the table.
Here is your rundown of fixtures to come this weekend and how to watch them.
In a blockbuster fixture at the Emirates. It’s Arsenal who take on Manchester United on Saturday, January 10th, with kick-off in this one at 12:30PM. Arsenal will be hoping to continue their run of good form and currently sit in third place on twenty-two points, whilst the Red Devils are hot on their tails in fourth, sitting on twenty-one. They’ll be hoping to improve on their dramatic three-all draw against Tottenham Hotspur just before the winter break. The game is available to watch on all Sky Sports football channels.
On the blue side of London, they’ll be hoping to cut the gap at the top of the table, as they host fellow London rivals West Ham United on January 11th at Kingsmeadow. West Ham, on the other hand, will be looking for a bright start under new manager Rita Guarino following the sacking of Rehanne Skinner. This one kicks off at 12:00 and is available to stream on Sky Sports + or Sky Sports Mix.
Carrying on in London, a high-flying Spurs side take on an improving Leicester City side down at the Betwright Stadium. With plenty of new signings more than likely to feature in this one, it makes an interesting one to call, as Tottenham will want to continue their push for the European places, only sitting two points behind Arsenal in 3rd and one point behind Manchester United in fourth. Again, this one kicks off at 12:00 PM on Sunday, January 11th, and is available to watch on the Sky Sports + app.
Moving up to the Northwest now, and Manchester City are looking to extend their gap at the top of the table ahead of Chelsea. They take on Everton at the Joie Stadium; having thumped Aston Villa prior to the winter break, they sit top of the table, SIX points clear of Chelsea. With a win over Everton, they could make it eleven WSL games unbeaten, whereas Everton will be looking for a crucial three points to take them further away from the bottom two of the league. The game to be played on January 11th again kicks off at 12:00 PM and is being streamed across all Sky Sports platforms.
Finally, Liverpool will be looking still for their first win of the season as they take on London City Lionesses. LCL will be looking to start strong under their newly appointed boss, Eder Maestre, following the sacking of Jocelyn Precheur after a run of poor results.
With the later kick-off of 14:30 PM on January 11th, you’ll be able to watch this one live from St Helens Stadium on the BBC red button, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport online.
