Chelsea Women already have ground to make up in the Women’s Super League title race when Arsenal arrive at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Manchester City moved onto 12 points by beating Charlton Athletic 1-0 on Saturday, meaning Chelsea begin their 4.30pm BST kick-off five points behind the leaders.
The official WSL matchweek schedule confirms City’s victory, while Sonia Bompastor’s side have seven points from their opening three league matches.
What Chelsea vs Arsenal means for the WSL table
A Chelsea victory would move the Blues onto 10 points and cut City’s advantage to two.
A draw would leave Chelsea four points behind City, while defeat would keep them on seven and give Arsenal the opportunity to move above them.
Chelsea remain unbeaten domestically after drawing with Aston Villa before beating Manchester United 5-0 and Birmingham City 2-0.
Bompastor also has selection decisions to make, with our Chelsea Women predicted XI covering the possible changes and the latest Chelsea team news surrounding Keira Walsh and Lauren James.
Supporters can also check the recent Chelsea Women vs Arsenal head-to-head record and TV and live-stream information before kick-off.
Victory would therefore do more than secure London derby bragging rights. It would keep Chelsea within immediate reach of City’s early pace.
