Sky na official home of the WSL, and every match go dey broadcast across Sky Sports channels. Digital coverage also dey with in-game clips and free-to-watch highlights.
Charlton vs Man City go hold on Saturday, kick-off 1.30pm, live on Sky Sports. The fortunes of these two sides no fit contrast pass this. Man City get maximum points. Charlton get the minimum, meaning they never still get off the starting grid. That one no go easy to rectify against City side wey dey complete free flow. But question mark still hang over Sunday’s visitors to The Valley. A relative unknown fit aid Charlton cause. How City go balance Europe travel with domestic priorities? Andree Jeglertz side bin dey Germany this week, battle to 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich where they come from 2-0 down. Na there pressure dey crank up and begin scrutinise depth and resolve of Jeglertz squad. No doubt such talented bunch fit cope. But that assumption never proper stress tested.
Manchester City boss Andree Jeglertz tok say him dey pleased with direction him side dey move. ‘We don get great start this season,’ Jeglertz talk. ‘There’s good flow in the club at the moment. We feel very good. We dey compete for Champions League; getting draw against Bayern Munich no be bad result and the start of league season don good. We don win all our league games, we dey create plenty chances, still things to improve, but we definitely on our way.’
Jeglertz still dey wary of Charlton threat, even with their poor form. ‘All teams wey struggle in previous games know say they dey come into new game and need do things better. The longer they struggle, the more their next opponent go dey challenged. I get highest respect for Charlton, regardless of their start and results. They dey this league because they deserve am. They get great campaign last year and do well to reach this league. They definitely go challenge plenty teams.’
On how Charlton go play, Jeglertz tok say the South East Londoners go try profit from small moments. ‘When you play team like Charlton wey don dey struggle, they definitely no go just accept us creating chances. I expect them to defend for their own half plenty, focus on set plays, focus on transition moments, all the small moments wey they get. For us, we need make sure say we no get stressed. We need patience in our attacks, good defensive positioning when we lose possession, and make sure say we dey there playing the game, not thinking about anything else. This na the most important game wey dey ahead of us, so we need dey present.’
London City Lionesses vs Brighton go hold Saturday, kick-off 5pm, live on Sky Sports. This one na one of most intriguing match ups of the round, simply because e hard to predict. Both teams dey offensively minded and they thrive by taking game to opponent, which suppose make am lively. If e stay open and transitional throughout, goals dey guaranteed at both ends. London City don score and concede at least once in each of their last eight WSL outings. Alexia Putellas still dey wait for her big breakout moment. Brighton, meanwhile, don dey stockpile chances without actually putting them away. The Seagulls don underperform against their xG tally by factor of 3.6 so far and go don dey work on plan to convert such dominance into goals. Against London City side wey get algorithm programmed to all-out attack, they go get chances. E important say they take them.
Man Utd vs West Ham go hold Sunday, kick-off 1pm, live on Sky Sports. Manchester United no win across their opening three matches, but they come away with plenty credit from last week 1-1 draw with Arsenal. After punishing start, shipping seven goals in first two outings, Eva Olid side look more stable and threatening at Emirates. E take until 96th minute for Arsenal to break them down. United na side wey best when counter-punching. They get technicians through middle of park wey fit transition ball quickly and find useful pockets of space in behind. I especially like wetin Andrea Medina add since arriving in summer, raw pace and aggression. As part of creative unit wey also include Jess Park, Simi Awujo and perhaps Ella Toone if she return to starting XI, United get means to service Elisabeth Terland in pursuit of more consistent goal threat. Those patterns suppose evolve given time.
Birmingham vs Crystal Palace go hold Sunday, kick-off 2pm, live on Sky Sports. Birmingham and Crystal Palace still dey find their way since promotion from WSL2. Both bin dey end of gruelling results last time out; Palace actually got pumped by Tottenham. But they both dey on scoreboard and that pass wetin pointless Charlton get. I imagine this game go more cautious in nature because e important not to lose and allow other to get jump. For two sides wey likely go get to slog am out to stay in top flight, remaining competitive against one another na necessity. Both don show tendency to build-up via more direct route, so winning aerial duels go important. Five players don make 10+ headed clearances so far this term and four of them go likely play in this fixture.
Liverpool vs Everton go hold Sunday, kick-off 2pm, live on Sky Sports. Everton don dey taunt Liverpool about their atrocious Merseyside derby record at Anfield for years now. But that defect no specific to derby. Oh no. Liverpool don lose eight of their nine league games hosted at Anfield. Na weird quirk but one wey Gareth Taylor must try stamp out. Things finally begin click under him, pairing attractive style of football with strategy wey fit actually win games. The Reds don find net seven times so far which already surpass their total for first 10 games of last year. Only Chelsea and Arsenal don force more high turnovers, which tell me their press dey function in quick and co-ordinated way Taylor demand. Everton dey on decent run but both wins this season come courtesy of own goals. Liverpool suppose dey out to punish.
Tottenham vs Aston Villa go hold Sunday, kick-off 2pm, live on Sky Sports. One of standout games of last season na Tottenham thrilling 7-3 win over Villa. I remember am well. And Spurs don dey at am again, putting seven past Palace last week in wonderful show of flair and invention. E feel like declaration of sorts, warning to pay attention. Amanda Nilden goal in 86th minute particularly catch my eye, na 14-pass move involving all but one outfield player. Martin Ho don get him side playing some slick stuff. Avoid defeat this weekend and e go represent their longest unbeaten streak in league (seven games). Since Ho take over in July 2025, only Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal don win more times than Tottenham 13. Such rapid acceleration worth keeping eye on as handful of teams jostle to break into top three or four.
Chelsea vs Arsenal go hold Sunday, kick-off 4.30pm, live on Sky Sports. Last but not least, na weekend headline act. Sunday mark the tenth meeting between Chelsea and Arsenal in all competitions since start of 2023/24, with contest tied at four wins apiece. I wan pick out Chelsea full-backs ahead of this next bout. I get feeling they go feature heavily. Only Man City Lauren Hemp don complete more carries into final third than Ellie Carpenter seven this term. She play more like flying winger, equally adept in chance creation and stretching defences. She dey mirrored on opposite flank by Katie McCabe. Of course sub-plot na say McCabe go dey facing Arsenal for first time since leaving club this summer, and she don known to get wrong side of emotionally-charged at times. But channelled in right way, high-risk, high-reward approach of Chelsea full-back pairing fit win them game. Arsenal don dey passive at best so far. That go play straight into Sonia Bompastor hands if replicated at Stamford Bridge.
Sky Sports na official home of Women’s Super League.
