Arsenal host Manchester City at the Emirates as two sides looking to compete for the Women’s Super League title clash on the opening weekend of the season.

Both Arsenal and City will be aiming to end Chelsea’s run of five WSL titles now Emma Hayes has departed the Blues.

City were runners-up last season on goal difference, with Arsenal in third five points behind. In fact, a 2-1 win for Arsenal at City in the run-in proved crucial in the title race.

City will be out for revenge, and could hand a WSL debut for Vivianne Miedema, who moved from Arsenal during the summer’s transfer window.

Both Arsenal and City were in action in the Champions League qualifiers in midweek. City secured a brilliant 5-0 win away to Paris FC, but Arsenal have worth to do after a 1-0 defeat to FC Hacken.
