"Two of the early pacesetters in the Women's Super League go head-to-head on Sunday, with their perfect records on the line. Manchester United sit top of the table heading into matchday two, and their visitors to Leigh Sports Village, Arsenal, are just behind them on goal difference. Both sides have scored nine goals so far, with United only conceding once to Arsenal's two, setting up an intriguing clash."
"Only against Chelsea (five games) have United failed to win more games on home soil in the WSL than they have against Arsenal (four - D2 L2), but that does not stop the Opta supercomputer from favouring them this weekend. United are given a 40% chance of maintaining their perfect start to the campaign, while Arsenal's hopes of preserving their same record sit at 33.4%."
Manchester United and Arsenal both enter matchday two of the Women's Super League with perfect records and nine goals each, with United leading on goal difference after conceding once to Arsenal's two. United played midweek, overturning a 1-0 first-leg deficit to beat Brann and reach the Champions League main draw thanks to Elisabeth Terland's hat-trick. The result could influence the early title race among Chelsea and Tottenham, who already have six points. Historical WSL meetings favour Arsenal recently, as United have not won in their last four WSL fixtures against Arsenal. Opta gives United a 40% chance to maintain their start, Arsenal 33.4%.
