On this week’s Guardian Women’s Football Weekly: the panel revisit the double header between Manchester City and Chelsea as the two teams went toe-to-toe twice in four days. Vivianne Miedema starred in a Champions League win for City before Chelsea struck back in the WSL. With the two sides preparing to meet again in midweek, the panel assess the balance of power.
It was a mixed week for Arsenal after their Champions League loss to Real Madrid on a poor pitch and a dominant win over Liverpool at the Emirates. Meanwhile, the WSL relegation battle heats up with Leicester edging Brighton and Everton crusing past Palace. Plus, the panel asks Chris Paouros why Tottenham can’t score goals after Spurs faltered away at West Ham.
That’s not all. There’s the record-breaking Tyne-Wear derby in the Championship, Bournemouth’s title glory in the FAWNL, and the intriguing launch of a new global World Sevens competition. Is it another money-making scheme, or is it good for the women’s game?
Plus, there’s Natalia Arroyo’s honesty, Manchester United’s statement win, and Chris sings a song all about Suzy Wrack – on today’s Guardian Women’s Football Weekly.
