Manchester United V Crystal Palace
Sunday's matches will start at the Leigh Sports Village Stadium, where United wants to claim a sixth consecutive competition victory.
They kept a clean slate in four of them. Since the start of last season, the Red Devils have seen a larger part of their total victories than any other always present (79% – 15/19).
The Marc Skinner team is predicted that it will expand their fine form of shape – the OPTA Supercomputer ranks their chances of winning at 82.8%, while the Palace profit is a meager 6.5%.
United will remain unbeaten this season in the WSL and won four of the six games (D2), and the Red Devils were able to prevent the defeat in their opening of seven games of a top campaign for the first time.
Palace has only won one of their 13 games (D3 L9), although five of their six points have left the competition of home and the previous time-out 1-1 were pulled on MD13.
Ella Toone from United stands in line to make her 100th WSL start for the club – she would be the 70th player who reaches that milestone of starts in the competition.
Arsenal against Tottenham
Arsenal has won all four of their WSL matches against Tottenham, with a clean slate being held in each of the last three.
The supercomputer supports their chances of continuing that shape against their rivals. The chance of winning from Arsenal is 78.4%compared to Spurs' 8.5%, while the threat of a draw is 13.1%.
Arsenal has won six of their last seven WSL matches (L1) and scored three or more goals in five of those victories; Only Chelsea (six times) has done this more often than the Gunners (five times) in general in the top flight this period.
Expect goals in this, because none of Arsenal's last 13 London derby's in the WSL has ended the level (W7 L6), since a 0-0 draw with West Ham in February 2023, while none of Spurs' last 11 competition derbies ended A draw (W6 D5), because a 2-2 draw with the hammers in May 2023.
Spurs has only won one of their 10 WSL meetings with Arsenal (D1 L8) and won 1-0 in December 2023 despite the fact that he had five shots and compared to 31 of the Gunners.
New signing Chloe Kelly could make her first performance in the WSL for Arsenal since June 2017 when she scored against Bristol City; If she played this weekend, 2,815 days since that game, this would be the second longest gap between two performances for the same club by an outfield player in the competition after Toni Duggan for Everton (2,897 days).
Chelsea V Everton
Chelsea is probably not looking to let their leadership slip – indeed, they have a 99% chance of winning the title, according to the Opta model.
The supercomputer makes them big favorites to take the three points against Everton, with Chelsea won 88.9% of the simulations led by data. Everton came on top in only 3.9%.
Chelsea is unbeaten in each of their last 26 games in all competitions (W25 D1) and in the WSL era, only two teams went without defeat: the blues itself between April 2019 and September 2020 (31 games) and Manchester City between April 2016 and April 2017 (27 competitions).
Everton has lost each of their last seven league matches against Chelsea, since he won 4-1 on Imperial Fields in June 2013, while the Toffees have never defeated the ruling champions in the WSL in 20 earlier attempts (D3 L17).
Chelsea is unbeaten in each of their last 15 WSL meetings with Everton (W14 D1), with 11 of their last 12 league profits against the Toffees who come to Nil.
West Ham against Brighton
After an excellent start of the season, Brighton agreed. They are in the fifth, so still punching far above their weight, but the seagulls are winless in five WSL matches.
Can they get back on the right track against West Ham? Well, the Opta model makes the hammers the favorites, with a chance of 43.6%.
Brighton came from the victors in 29.6% of the simulations of the supercomputer, while 26.8% were drawn.

West Ham has won three of their last four home WSL matches (L1), who have won only one of their previous 19 (D8 L10).
However, they only won one of their last nine WSL meetings with Brighton (D1 L7), a 2-0 way victory in October 2023.
But Brighton has lost their last four road races in the top layer, the last suffering more away in a row in the 2019-220 campaign (six).
Leicester City v Aston Villa
Because Leicester joined the WSL in 2021-22, the Foxes lost most of the matches (53), gave the second most goals (165) and have the worst target difference (-104). At that time they also won 18 fewer points than any other always present team (56).
However, they do not support the pile, and are three points available for the palace as it is.
And the supercomputer predicts a tight game with Villa, which is just one place higher in the 10th.
A draw would not be a bad scream here -the chance that it is even 26.2%, with a villa victory at 37.7%and a Leicester victory at 36.2%.
Villa has lost three of their last five WSL matches (W1 D1), where every defeat comes under a different manager -they have not lost three in a row since they have lost their first five games of 2023-24.
Leicester has picked up seven points in their last four home competition matches (W2 D1 L1), more than they have retained in their previous 12 on home floor (five – W1 D2 L9). They are looking for successive home wins for the first time since April 2023.
Manchester City against Liverpool
The promotion of the weekend will be closed in the Joie Stadium, where Man City wants to return to winning ways against a Liverpool side that recently gone around a corner in the WSL.
City was in the wrong end of a seven-purpose thriller against Arsenal the last time-out, in which the late goal of Stina Blackstenius de Gunners deserved a 4-3 victory, while also their own hope for a top three finish and qualifying For those of follow Women's Champions League.
In the meantime, Liverpool has now won two of their last three WSL matches (L1), as much as they have retained this season in their first 10 games (W2 D3 L5). Only Chelsea and Man Utd (nine) have more WSL points in 2025 than the Reds (six), and they will be looking for a rare victory in Manchester.
The Reds have lost seven of their eight WSL matches against the citizens with the only exception a 1-1 draw in June 2016.
The supercomputer makes the big favorites of the city (76.4%), with the chances of Liverpool arranged at 9.6%and the probability of a draw at 14.1%.
