Manchester City vs Arsenal: Women’s Super League – LIVE!

7 Minutes: Zinsburger is very calm in his possession as he is hunted down by the City forwards. They are now on the move, and Arsenal will not have it all their way.

5 Minutes: There was a brief lull in the game while the referee checked that the ball had been pumped sufficiently. It appeared, as City started getting into it, playing some good passing football.

3 minutes: McCabe overlaps the ball and starts the offensive for Arsenal.

2 minutes: Arsenal goalkeeper Zinsberger seems to have started the game as an assist sweeper, with Williamson leading from the defence to such a controlling player. Both teams like to play from behind.

1 minute: And away we go to East Manchester, as the players kneel down and the visitors kick off.

teams take to the field, with the blue flag waving in the corner. Lucy Bronze and Steph Houghton in that City defense made it such a difficult assignment for Arsenal.

A stat from Opta.

• Manchester City have won their last four home WSL matches against Arsenal, scoring 11 goals in these victories. Their last home loss against the Gunners was a 1-0 loss in May 2017.

Charles Antaki is in touch with some firm but unbiased analysis. “It looks like both Arsenal teams have been firing on minus one cylinders for the past month or so, but there is a little bit of redemption for the women with Leah Williamson coming back. The only thing left for the club at the moment is to be on top of the WSL; Win it and the team following pushes away from the pack and the light shines. Miedema may also decide to stay. ,

Some of the issues Charles touches on can be found in this piece.

Those teams again.

The hardest working woman in show business, has hotfooted it from the Eastlands, is in Leh, and will file a report. Stay warm, Suzy.

It’s looking snowy tonight in East Manchester, and Leah Williamson, back in the Arsenal squad, going through her paces in the warmup. A big player to come back, and in defense from where he led England in October.

Big result from Manchester United first with Suzy Wrack reporting.

United are now six games without a loss, with the team unable to stitch together back-to-back victories since participating in all competitions, in the opening two games of the season. This is a feat they have not achieved as a run of six wins completed their 2018–19 season in the Women’s Championship, the team’s first season since being reintroduced by the club.

Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall spoke to the Guardian ahead of the game.

I would not say that I would have a problem with the soul. We know what we need to do better, we know what we need to develop and I think we are all committed to keep that going.

We only got a glimpse of Tobin [Heath] Before she got injured. The way we played at home in Hoffenheim was our best performance [of the season] And that was a big part of him.”

Viv Miedema is perfect with his movement. He has genuine moments of high quality on the left. However, we are playing the ball towards where there is no position or numerical superiority. On those occasions, we need a better support structure.

Some pre-match quotes from Lucy Bronze, according to Sky Sports.

I think we are all excited that we are playing against Arsenal at home. We know we play well at home with the style we love to play. We have got a lot of players back fit and the team is doing well at the moment. Arsenal are probably struggling with form compared to the last time we played each other – they were flying and being the team to beat and doing so well.

We are quite confident and we know we only need to take three points and slowly pull up the league table, but Arsenal will be desperate to get points from the game as they look to retain that top spot.

Arsenal, the league leaders, have had a poor 2022 performance so far this year, having lost both their games so far this year, a shock defeat to battling Birmingham and then a FA Cup final loss to Manchester United. Last week, Covid struck and Reading were unable to field a team, and so returned to Manchester to recover the ship. City, retaining the services of Gareth Taylor at a time when there was speculation that he might be sacked during an early-season slump, has had a rare old January, scoring 17 goals and playing four matches. From only one share of 25 goals in six consecutive victories. , which is one hell of a revival. Arsenal are still at the top of the points table, but second-placed United have played two more games. Chelsea’s draw with Brighton has also come in handy, and also for City, who could equalize with Emma Hess’s side by completing a seventh straight win. Big game this.
