Arsenal v Liverpool: WSL preview
Rivals clash in London with title race hotting up
When? Sunday 28 January | 16:30 GMT | Where? Meadow Park, Borehamwood | TV/stream: Sky Sports Football
Liverpool Women will bid to make it three wins from three matches when they take on title rivals Arsenal on Sunday. Matt Beard’s side have made an impressive start to the 2023/24 campaign, winning their opening two fixtures against Brighton and Tottenham respectively. Arsenal, meanwhile, have also won their first two matches, scoring seven goals in the process. The match is likely to be a close encounter, with both teams in good form. Liverpool will be looking to continue their winning start to the season, while Arsenal will be keen to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Chelsea in the Continental Cup semi-final.
Head-to-head record
The two teams have met on 10 previous occasions, with Arsenal winning five times, Liverpool winning three times and two matches ending in a draw. In their most recent meeting, Arsenal ran out 2-0 winners in the WSL in October 2022.
Key players
Arsenal: Vivianne Miedema, Beth Mead, Katie McCabe Liverpool: Ella Toone, Shanice van de Sanden, Gemma Bonner
Prediction
This is a tough match to call, with both teams in good form. However, Arsenal have a slightly better head-to-head record and are playing at home, so I think they will just edge it.
Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool
