London, England – As Women’s Super League (WSL) tears into action for the 2025-26 season, reigning champs Chelsea are set to host Manchester City this Friday at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea just dey flex, with their six titles on the line and no one fit touch dem since dem start winning back-to-back. Talk about a monopoly on vibes! (Somebody pass dem palm wine, abeg!)
Last season, Chelsea no just win, dem do am without losing any match – 19 wins from 22 matches, with three draws. They carry the FA Cup and League Cup too, making it a treble! (Abeg, how dem take do am? Na jet fuel dem dey chop?) But wait, City don bring new manager come and some fresh legs wey don return from injury. This one go dey interesting o.
Experts wey sabi the matter don talk say Chelsea still dey favorite to take the trophy again this year. Sam Kerr dey back from injury, plus dem don sign Ellie Carpenter from OL Lyon. Last time I check, dem never rest o! Arsenal, the Champions League winners, dey plan how to catch Chelsea while London City Lionesses dey poised for gbedu with dem new signings – trust me, dem go shake the table.
Cerys Jones, one of the experts wey we ask, talk say: “I no sabi why I still dey hope say this go be Chelsea’s weak year. E be like say Arsenal get mental edge with their Champions League win but betting against Chelsea na pure madness.” (Abeg, make dem no come carry our paddy for that one!)
Turning tables back to Arsenal, Megan Feringa mention say, “Arsenal get the firepower! If dem fit transfer their Euros form into the league, then dem fit shake Chelsea.” (Wetin go happen if dem no fit? Na back to the drawing board!)
But Chelsea gats hold their ground; dem don build like impenetrable fortress. E be like dem dey train with lion on steroids. Plus, Chelsea don foil the chances of City, with Tamerra Griffin claiming: “Chelsea dey a squad wey get mad talent, but we go need to see if dem fit gel together.” Not fit to sneeze at Arsenal though, as dem dey march back with strong vibes.
Caoimhe O’Neill shout say: “This WSL season go be hot and I no go bet on Chelsea to run the league alone again.” She also dey talk how big teams consist today. Manchester Utd dey fight for revenge after never beating Chelsea before. Dem wan use that loss as motivation for this new season, especially with the final matches dey expected to be intense.
Dem say London City Lionesses don make all the right moves. With big names like Nikita Parris and Danielle van de Donk, dem dey ready to disturb the balance. E go be madness as dem make their debut against Arsenal on Saturday. (Na who get time to waste?!)
As for Leicester City, e be like dem don vex to remain in the WSL after three seasons. While teams dey jostle for top positions, dem still dey for middle, no be small wahala o. As we fit see, the competition don hot, and relegation fit be serious matter dis time.
