Bristol City Women

The Arsenal squad is taking shape with four more players leaving the club on season-long loans.

Arsenal climbed up two places in the table and sit on top as Chelsea’s game was postponed and City could only beat Liverpool 1-0, but it was the manner of Arsenal’s win, as much as the 11-1 scoreline, that stood out.

As I started this intro, Arsenal women were winning 10-nil against Bristol City and Vivianne Miedema had scored or created every single one of them.

With the League starting on Saturday with the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium and Bristol v Brighton at Ashton Gate, it is time for my annual predictions.

Now that the season is finally over, it’s time to present my FA WSL Team of the Year, based on the games I’ve attended and those that have been shown on TV.

Following the 4-0 home win against Bristol, Arsenal trail Manchester City by two points with two games in hand, placing them in the driving seat.

With no first team game due to the Christmas break, I attended the Academy game to watch them face Bristol City at Thame Utd.

Joe Montemurro’s team recorded their sixth win in as many games and are now three points ahead of Manchester City with a game in hand.

Arsenal Women did the job yesterday against Bristol with a 6-1 away win, but unfortunately Manchester City also beat Everton 3-0 to leave the Gunners short of Champions League qualification by a point.

Arsenal will battle with Manchester City on Sunday for the last UEFA Women’s Champions League place, when the Gunners go to Bristol away while City are at home to Everton.

There was no first-team game this weekend following the international break, but the Development Team thrashed Bristol City 5-1.

Arsenal Women drew with Bristol City Ladies and have possibly waved goodbye to the FA WSL title for another season.

Arsenal Women are looking to bounce back from their disappointing performance last week against  Manchester City in a must win game against Bristol City Ladies.

With the FA WSL transfer window now shut, let’s have a look at the business done by Arsenal Women in the three months.

The FA has disclosed the full broadcast fixture list for the FA WSL from September to early November, and there will be plenty of opportunities to watch Arsenal Women.

The last few days have seen a couple of moves and a contract extension for the Arsenal Ladies as the transfer window enters its second week.

Arsenal put five past Bristol City without reply on the final day of the Spring Series, but it was not enough to clinch the title as Chelsea were named Champions.

Arsenal will go into today’s clash with Bristol City in the knowledge that if results go their way and they win here, they will claim the Spring Series title.
