Women's Super League After an exciting third round of fixtures, in which Manchester City dominated Tottenham, Chelsea maintained their perfect record, and newcomers London City Lionesses earned a historic first WSL win, it’s time for the next battles. Matchday 4 brings both derby blockbusters and crucial games for teams in need of a breakthrough. The atmosphere is heating up, and every point is starting to carry more weight.
Arsenal vs Aston Villa
Date: 27.09, 13:00
Arsenal return to action after a goalless draw with Manchester United. The Gunners will be eager to prove that their attack remains one of the strongest in the league, but they need to improve their finishing. Aston Villa, meanwhile, are coming back after a tough spell – their previous match was cancelled due to tragic events, so this is their first game back. It could be a turning point for them, but on paper, Arsenal are the clear favourites.
Brighton vs Everton
Date: 28.09, 13:00
Brighton dismantled West Ham 4–1 last weekend and look to be in increasingly good form. Their attack is firing and confidence is high. Everton, however, suffered a shock defeat to the newly promoted Lionesses (1–2), which was a heavy blow. For the Merseyside side, this is a must-win clash, another loss could seriously dent their morale.
Leicester City vs Tottenham
Date: 28.09, 13:00
Leicester fought bravely last time out but fell 0–1 to Chelsea. They now face Tottenham, who were thrashed 1–5 by Manchester City. Both teams have something to prove. For Leicester, home advantage and defensive solidity will be crucial, while Spurs must regroup quickly to avoid sliding into a form crisis.
Liverpool vs Manchester United
Date: 28.09, 13:00
The North West Derby promises plenty of drama. Liverpool didn’t play last weekend due to a postponement, so they’ll be hungry for football and points. United come off a solid showing against Arsenal (0–0) and will want to prove they can consistently earn results against top teams. The derby atmosphere will only intensify the battle – expect a fierce contest from the very first minute.
Manchester City vs London City Lionesses
Date: 28.09, 13:00
A clash between a powerhouse and a newcomer making history. Manchester City crushed Tottenham 5–1 in the previous round, showcasing their attacking firepower. London City Lionesses, meanwhile, celebrated their first ever WSL win with a 2–1 triumph over Everton. This game will be the ultimate test for the Lionesses: can they stand up to a giant? City cannot afford to underestimate an opponent playing without fear.
West Ham vs Chelsea
Date: 28.09, 15:30
Chelsea are unstoppable three games, three wins, though the last (1–0 vs Leicester) was more pragmatic than spectacular. West Ham, coming off a heavy defeat to Brighton, now face the defending champions. The favourite is obvious, but London derbies always carry their own drama. West Ham will play for pride and an upset, while Chelsea aim to maintain their perfect start and firm grip on top spot.
Summary
Matchday 4 of the WSL 2025/26 is packed with emotions: from London and North West derbies, to favourites facing newcomers, to teams desperately seeking a turnaround. Fans can expect both goal-fests and tense battles. One thing is certain the race for the top spots and the hunt for first points is gaining pace, and every round is writing new stories.
