In past meetings with Chelsea, Arsenal have managed to step and deliver, even when results haven't been in their favour.
But at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Renee Slegers' side drifted into their same old form, predictable and passive.

A lot of the messaging in Renee Slegers' post match about psychological issue for Arsenal - "keep any pressure and any complexity away from the players", "keep that simplicity and clear heads, clear minds for the players".
But Arsenal's issues are more than a mental block.

35 - @SpursWomen are the only side in WSL history to have 35+ shots in consecutive matches in the competition.
42 v Crystal Palace on MD3 (7-0)
35 v Aston Villa today (4-0)
Onslaught.

Big boos, unsurprisingly, for Katie McCabe from the Arsenal away end when the Chelsea stadium announcer read out Chelsea's team.

Walsh, LJ and Malard start. KCC starts for Arsenal, as does Little, Mariona and Stanway. Looks like Mariona will be playing off the left. Cerci and Reuteler make the bench.
Team selection/availability will play huge role in Chelsea-Arsenal later.
Will Keira Walsh be fit? If not, how do Chelsea hope to control that midfield, evidence on Wed was they can't. Is LJ fit? Can Malard play 90?
Will Slegers reward Cooney-Cross and Cerci with a start?

FT Man United 2-1 West Ham
It’s the first win in the WSL for Eva’s Olid’s side.
A much more complete performance from United. Medina looks exceptional on the left wing. Thought Lundkvist & Terland had good games too.
Up next is Durham.

Full quote on Bizet.
“Celin is a different situation, because initially the performance department had a plan for her but she’s so good. She’s training so good and probably she will be back soon.
In theory, they wanted to leave more time because she just came back from having the baby but she’s doing so quick and will be back soon, that’s what we expect but we don’t have an exact time but it will be quite soon.”

Truth bombs for Arsenal ahead of their derby day against Chelsea. Can they once again step up when it matters most?

A YouGov poll says 64% of Britons who’ve attended a game believe the ban on drinking alcohol in view of the pitch should remain in place
The most regular match-goers support the ban by 63% to 35%
Speaking from the perspective of when I'm watching games in stands, and not a press box, I personally like the booze ban as people aren't getting up every two minutes and there's more focus on the match.

Not a great week for English sides in the UWCL. Lots to consider ahead of Chelsea-Arsenal.
- Another sluggish Arsenal showing
- Will Keira Walsh be fit?
- City's chaotic defensive energy continues
- Plus, Disney

As someone who is now running a media business I've blocked certain accounts from seeing content we publish as it was becoming an issue, especially with exclusives, that our content was being repurposed without any credit and even with credit, the algorithm rewarding elsewhere
To the football aggregators who don’t credit: if you constantly rip real journalists off by stealing their work, not linking to the original article or at least crediting them, what do you think you’ll be aggregating in the future? Will you just put fake quotes out constantly?

As a new entry in the space, @The_Cutback doesn't have a legacy audience or brand recognition in the space so exclusives stories are a big way for us to capture audience. It has happened too many times and the only way to stop it is reduce visibility to content aggregators.
