Key Players to Watch:

Arsenal: Mariona Caldentey

The Spanish midfielder was unlucky to not win the Women's Ballon D'or, being one of the stars of the side that became European Champions in 2025. And has cemented herself as one of Women's footballers best midfielders.

Manchester City: Khadija Shaw

Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw has cemented herself as one of the best strikers in the women's game, scoring 14 goals so far in the WSL as she looks to lead City to the title.

Our Main Prediction: Arsenal Women 1-1 Manchester City Women

This fixture could go either way, with City's immense form coming up against a rejuvenated Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, but we reckon both teams will cancel each other out in a score draw.
