Arsenal are a team transformed under Renee Slegers. No side has won more points (21) in the Women’s Super League in 2025. The rate they are scoring past opponents (3.6 per game), and the design of those goals, is pretty remarkable too. This from a squad that looked completely devoid of confidence at the start of the season. Lacking imagination and creativity, weighed down by the pressure of expectancy rather than buoyed by it.

"I'm playing free and that's when I'm at my best," Chloe Kelly told Sky Sports from England camp this week, complete with a beaming smile. "I'm having fun."The winger enters this month's international break off the back of two outstanding performances for Arsenal. There was plenty of reason to believe Kelly would thrive at the club she progressed through as a youngster after January's shock loan move from Manchester City but the reality still needed stress testing. Early signs are good.

Pep Guardiola's side move up to fourth in the chase for a Champions League finish, temporarily displacing Chelsea, while Leicester sink ever closer to the Championship having lost 14 of their last 15 games.

Much-changed Chelsea dropped points for the second time this season after being held to a dramatic 2-2 draw by battling West Ham. The Blues remain unbeaten in the league, with their only other blip on an otherwise perfect WSL record coming against Leicester back in December, and looked on course for a 16th win after an electric first 20 minutes.

Arsenal's season is hanging in the balance. Europe remains the Gunners' only hope of winning something having been dumped out of the FA Cup by Liverpool at the beginning of the month, while they will almost certainly not catch Chelsea in the WSL. It's win (by three clear goals) or bust against Real Madrid, first-time winners of the Clasico on Sunday, after falling to a 2-0 first-leg defeat in rainy Spain last week.

Marc Skinner has this season become the WSL's longest current serving manager. His four years in charge of Man Utd have fluctuated in success but steadily, Skinner has overseen a period of immense growth. The league's top three has become a top four, with far less predictability attached. A campaign of consistency has served Skinner particularly well at a time where the club have craved stability. Lots of change happened over an intense 18 months of scrutiny.

“I’m sure the pitch will be better at the Joie Stadium,” Man City's interim boss Nick Cushing said following his side's League Cup final defeat by Chelsea at the weekend. The dry, bobbly surface at Derby County’s Pride Park was hardly befitting of the occasion. More than that, it played into Chelsea's hands. Man City have never been a team who favour the ugly side of the game. Saturday proved it.

Erling Haaland became the fastest player ever to 100 Premier League goal contributions as Manchester City were held by fellow top-four hopefuls Brighton 2-2 at the Etihad. The chase for European football is being hotly contested by as many as eight clubs this season, including both City and Brighton, but neither were able to take command of the race despite record-breaking Haaland's best efforts.
