With two matches remaining in the season, the Blues have a two-point lead over Manchester United at the top of the WSL table, while the Gunners are sitting in third place.

After beating Manchester United at Wembley to lift the FA Cup last weekend, Chelsea quickly turned their attention back to league action for an away meeting with West Ham United on Wednesday.

Niamh Charles scored her fourth league goal of the season to give Chelsea a narrow half-time lead, before the defending WSL champions moved through the gears after the interval.

Pernile Harder, Sophie Ingle and Erin Cuthbert all got on the scoresheet to wrap up a 4-0 victory which moved Chelsea to the top of the WSL table.

Chelsea could win a fourth consecutive WSL title this weekend if they beat Arsenal and Manchester United fail to beat their local rivals Manchester City.

Although the Blues have won their last 14 home league matches, the last time that they dropped points in a home WSL match was in a goalless draw against Arsenal in February 2022.

Arsenal head into the weekend five points adrift of Chelsea, while three points separate them from second-placed Manchester United.

As a result, the Gunners are unlikely to secure their first league title since 2018-19, but in a season that has been disrupted by injuries to key players, their main priority will be to secure Champions League football for 2023-24.

Jonas Eidevall’s side moved three points clear of fourth-placed Manchester City with a comfortable 4-1 away victory over Everton in midweek.

Goals from Katie McCabe and Lotte Wubben-Moy, combined with a Caitlin Foord brace, guided Arsenal to a third successive victory.

Arsenal will qualify for the Champions League this weekend if they beat Chelsea and Manchester City fail to win in the Manchester derby, while a point will be enough if the Citizens lose to Manchester United.
