WSL returns to action after month-long break | OneFootball

The Women's Super League is finally back in action after a month out with an intriguing weekend.

Cup competition and an international break have meant that there has been no games in English top flight since February 15th.

Fortunately, there's some fascinating fixtures this weekend, even with Manchester United and Chelsea featuring in the League Cup final, meaning that the games between those two teams won't kick-off until Wednesday.

It will be interesting to see how London City Lionesses do at home to Arsenal. Since that game on matchweek one, London City have slowly settled into the WSL life even with their change of manager.

The newly-promoted side lost 4-1 that day and they will be keen to avenge this although the Gunners are currently on a seven-game winning streak.

Two teams who will be looking to end their losing streak are Aston Villa and Leicester City. 

The Villans have lost five games in a row including a 7-3 hammering by Tottenham Hotspur last time out. The recent appointment of former Everton boss Brian Sørensen as 'technical advisor' to Natalia Arroyo may also add further pressure on the Spaniard to turn things around.

It would be hard to see them doing that this time though as they host top-of-the-league Manchester City who can pull even further away from United and Chelsea due to their delayed fixtures.

Another team in and form is rock-bottom Leicester City who have now lost eight of their last nine games in all competitions and will be hoping to move out of the relegation play-off spot if they beat 11th-place Liverpool – a team Leicester won against last time.

Finally, Tottenham Hotspur can keep the pressure on the top four when Everton come to town. After this game, Spurs have Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Man Utd to play in two different competitions making these points ones they don't want to drop against a Toffees side who have won their last three WSL games.
