Will the Women’s Super League trophy have a new name this season, or will Chelsea pick it up for a fourth consecutive season? With less than two weeks until the final day of the season, everything is still up for grabs.

If the Blues win their remaining three games of the season, Emma Hayes’ side will clinch a third successive domestic double beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final last weekend.

Any mistakes by United or Chelsea could be punished by Arsenal, who are six points behind the leaders with a game in hand. They visit Everton on Wednesday.

Manchester City are still mathematically in the game but will need a miracle to lift the WSL trophy, but Gareth Taylor’s side can still have a huge say in terms of destinations in this weekend’s top-four race.

City visit United on Sunday night, after Chelsea host Arsenal at lunchtime. If Chelsea beat West Ham and the Gunners, United cannot win the Manchester derby and the Blues will be crowned champions.

Any other scenario would have seen the title drop to the final day.

“Who would bet against Chelsea winning the WSL now?” former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnish told BBC One after their FA Cup final victory. “They know how to work hard to get results. Emma Hayes put together a relentless team.”

Chelsea (2nd, 49 points)

There is a sense of inevitability to the Blues’ title chase. They are battling for a fourth consecutive WSL title and know their destination for this season’s trophy is in their hands.

However, there is one big obstacle standing in their way – Arsenal. The two teams have played against each other 3 times this season, Chelsea won the FA Cup, the Gunners won the League Cup final, and the points are shared in the league.

Emma Hayes’ side came into form at the right time, recovering from a 2-0 defeat at Manchester City on 26 March. They have also matched United’s goal difference, scoring 13 goals in their last two WSL games – a 7-0 win over Everton and a 6-0 home win over Leicester City.

“You saw it against Everton, we got better and better as the season went on and it’s really time for us to show why we’ve won so many trophies,” said striker Sam Cole. explain.

Arsenal (3rd, 44 points)

A first WSL title since 2019 remains a possibility for Arsenal, who ended a four-year wait for silverware by beating Chelsea in the League Cup final earlier this season.

However, their underwhelming form against the other top four clubs – four points from five WSL games so far – and three league games starting 2023 without a win leaves Jonas Adwar’s team became the outsiders.

“Our mentality is to win,” Adwar said. “It hasn’t changed. We try to win everything.”

If Arsenal win their remaining three games, they have a chance – but they can only take 53 points at most, so United and Chelsea need to lose more than one game.

Still playing: Everton (May 17 away), Chelsea (May 21 away), Aston Villa (May 27 away)

Manchester City (4th, 44 points)

Gareth Taylor’s side were included because mathematically they could have won the WSL – but they were already out. In addition to winning their remaining two games, they need United to lose both, with a goal difference of 17. If Chelsea win a game, Manchester City will also be out.

A poor start to the season, losing their first two WSL games, came back to haunt City, while losses to Arsenal and Liverpool in their last four games dashed any sliver of hope.
