The Women's Super League resumes after the international break, with Manchester City maintaining their lead by defeating Aston Villa. Chelsea remains close behind, being the only team with a perfect record this season. Manchester United's winning streak ended with a draw against Brighton, but they remain unbeaten as they prepare to face Arsenal in Marc Skinner's 100th game as manager.
Important matches loom for teams at the bottom of the table. Everton, Aston Villa, and West Ham are all seeking their first wins of the season. Tottenham faces West Ham in a London derby, adding to the excitement of matchday six. The Opta supercomputer provides predictions for these crucial fixtures.

The weekend kicks off with Manchester United hosting Arsenal at Leigh Sports Village Stadium. Arsenal's interim manager Renee Slegers aims to continue her strong start after a 2-0 victory over West Ham. Arsenal has won their last three away games and seeks a fourth consecutive away win for the first time since December 2022.
United has lost just one of their last four home games against Arsenal in the WSL. They aim to win their first three home games of a WSL season for the first time. Opta predicts a tight match, giving United a 35.1% chance of winning and Arsenal a 38.9% chance, with a draw at 26% probability.
Brighton is just outside the top three after drawing 1-1 with United before the break. They are unbeaten at home this season and could extend this streak to four games. However, Leicester has been tough opponents recently, remaining unbeaten in their last two visits to Brighton.
Leicester ended a 12-game winless run by defeating Everton last time out. Brighton holds a 53.1% chance of winning according to Opta, while Leicester has a 22.9% chance and a draw stands at 24% likelihood.
Manchester City travels to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace, who have struggled at home this season with two heavy defeats. City will play their 200th WSL game and have already secured more wins than any other team in their first 200 matches.
City excels against promoted teams, winning 23 out of 24 such encounters in the league. Lauren Hemp continues her impressive form, contributing both goals and assists frequently in WSL matches. City's win probability is high at 78.3%, while Palace has just a 9.4% chance of victory.
Tottenham hopes to recover from their loss to Chelsea as they take on bottom-placed West Ham. Spurs have lost three straight league games under Robert Vilahamn but have performed well in recent home London derbies.
The Hammers have struggled away from home against Tottenham and are winless in their last 14 league games overall—a record unwanted by any London club in WSL history. Tottenham is favoured with a 55.2% chance of winning compared to West Ham's 21.7% probability.
Aston Villa hosts Liverpool at Villa Park, both teams eager for victory after recent draws against Leicester and Crystal Palace respectively. This fixture is deemed difficult to predict by Opta's model, giving Villa a slight edge with a 35.4% chance compared to Liverpool's 38.6%, while draws stand at 26% likelihood.
Liverpool completed a double over Villa last season and remain unbeaten in seven away games in the WSL—an impressive streak they hope to extend further.
The weekend concludes at Goodison Park where Chelsea aims for five consecutive wins under new manager Sonia Bompastor. The French coach has an impressive track record and looks set to join an elite group if successful against Everton.
Chelsea boasts nine straight victories over Everton in WSL play and seeks another triumph here as reigning champions continue dominating past opponents without conceding much ground historically
