Williamson’s Arsenal sit fourth in the Women’s Super League looking to close the gap on the clubs above them in the Champions League qualification spots. The Gunners are four and five points off Chelsea and Manchester United respectively but have two games in hand over their rivals following the postponement to their game against Brighton earlier this month.
Catching league leaders Manchester City appears slightly beyond Renee Slegers’ side this campaign, with 13 points likely too large a gap to chase down, despite the two games in hand. Despite this, the Gunners will have a chance to defend their European crown against Chelsea.
On last year’s success, Williamson added that despite the triumph, she would not want to relive the final against Barcelona. “I was in a lot of pain from start to finish - emotionally, physically. It was very warm, I was on the verge of sunstroke...I was not in a good place,” she said.
