Chelsea will face Arsenal in a high-tension Women’s Super League clash on Saturday January 24 in front of a packed crowd at Stamford Bridge.
The two teams met in the WSL in November 2025, which ended in a 1-1 draw after a goal from Alyssa Thompson. Speaking of form, both teams have won two of their last five matches and now sit second and third respectively in the WSL table, with Chelsea four points clear and trying to chase down Man City.
Looking at their head-to-head, it’s Chelsea who have a slight advantage. They have won 13 of the 29 meetings between the two teams, Arsenal have won 10 and six have ended in draws. It has proven particularly difficult for Arsenal to beat the Blues at home, with Chelsea unbeaten in their last six home games against the Gunners dating back to October 2018.
