On April 2, a battle between two top-four teams in the Barclays Women’s Super League between third place Manchester City and fourth place Arsenal.
The last time the two teams met in early February, Manchester City was able to beat Arsenal, 2-1, after Arsenal attempted a comeback and wasn’t able to complete it, according to the Premier League.
Every single game and goal will matter in order to potentially move up and take first place with the top four in the league, being so close in the overall fixture of points.
Every win is three points, every draw is one point and a loss is zero points, because Manchester is currently only two points behind first place. Every game matters and Arsenal must win this game to tie with Manchester City in points.
Manchester City forward Khadija Shaw is the leading scorer in the Barclays Women’s Super League, according to ESPN. Her goalscoring prominence will be important in the matchup against Arsenal.
This game will be similar to last game with a back and forth game, that may have some huge table shifting proponents, but Manchester City’s offense with Shaw’s goal scoring ability will be too much for Arsenal and Manchester City will be the victor.
