Arsenal (W) are in form
London City Lionesses (W) currently sit in 6th place in the Super League Women table after 16 games of the 2025-2026 season, with 19 points from 16 matches. Their home record is three wins and four losses, and they’re conceding an average of 1.57 goals per match in those home games.
Their opponents on Sunday, Arsenal (W), are in 4th place in the table with 29 points from 14 games. Arsenal have won four of their seven away games in the Super League Women 2025/2026, drawing two and losing one, and are conceding just 0.86 goals per game away from home.
Arsenal (W) are the clear favourites here, with odds of 1.29 reflecting their superior quality and strong recent form. The visiting team will be hoping to add another win to their recent run, while London City will look to put a stop to their own rotten run of form.
Key matchup: Arsenal (W)’s control vs. London City’s counter-pressing
London City's approach
London City play a pragmatic 4-2-3-1 system, looking to be proactive in their build-up play and transition quickly. However, their style is more reactive, and they tend to sit deeper and counter when possible.
Arsenal's approach
Arsenal (W) have the control, pressing high up the pitch and moving the ball quickly to dominate the game. The matchup of these two philosophies should determine the tempo and flow of Sunday’s game.
Who can make an impact?
- Alessia Russo is the best bet for an anytime goal in this fixture, with the Arsenal (W) striker scoring five Super League Women goals in 14 appearances so far this season.
- In contrast, London City’s top attacking player this season is Freya Godfrey, with four goals in 12 Super League Women appearances, and two in her last five.
Can London City end the run?
Arsenal (W) have won their last 5 matches in all competitions, and their form is red hot at the moment. Renee Slegers has led them to be absolute ball dominators in all departments, and their recent form shows no signs of slowing down.
London City Lionesses (W), meanwhile, have lost three on the bounce and are winless in their last three home games. This is a big test for Eder Maestre’s newly promoted side as they try to establish themselves in the top flight, with a mix of youth and experience.
Arsenal (W) have won their last 2 away games and look in good form on their travels. London City Lionesses (W) have failed to win their last 2 home matches against Arsenal (W) in all competitions, and I’m backing them to come up short again here.
