The FA WSL champions league places race 06/09

Arsenal climb to the top of the League while Everton and Brighton join them in the Champions League places.

Arsenal defeated Reading 6-1 at home to go top and overtake Manchester City who dropped three places. Everton went second with a 4-0 away victory to Bristol to boost their Champions League contender credential. Although we have to wait and see until they play the other contenders to evaluate them properly. Brighton are in third following their 2-0 win at home to Birmingham.

Manchester City won 2-0 away to Villa, while the other two contenders Chelsea and Manchester United drew 1-1 and therefore dropped two points in the Champions League races.

Up next are West Ham away for the Gunners a tough game and with the home crowd available as it is a fan testing game, it should be very interesting on Saturday night. Everton are at home to Tottenham and it will be a real test for their ambition as Spurs have recuited well this Summer. Brighton are away to title favorite Manchester City, a tough game for the Seagulls. Chelsea will be at home to Bristol and cannot drop a point. Manchester United will be away to Birmingham and looking to consolidate their excellent start of the season.

The FA WSL relegation race 06/09

Reading have replaced Aston Villa at the bottom of the FA WSL table follwing their defeat to Arsenal. Bristol and Birmingham also join the relegation with their defeat and 0 point on board so far.

Reading 6-1 away defeat to Arsenal leave them bottom of the table on goal difference. Bristol City are not far behind with a home defeat to Everton 4-0, while Birmingham recorded a 2-0 defeat away to Brighton. Aston Villa of course were defeated at Villa Park 2-0 on Saturday and were temporarily in the bottom place and climb up three positions.

Coming up next for the bottom four teams are Chelsea v Bristol City, with the title holders needing a win after dropping two points at Manchester United. Not an easy game at all for the Vixens. Reading v Aston Villa. A game were both side will try to get their first point on board and it should ve quite even and open with many goals. Birmingham City v Manchester United. Blues will be looking to get their first point on board against a United side that performed really well to get a point against Chelsea and will see reinforcements add more threat up front, something that they missed last season.

The FA WSL relegation race 05/09

Aston Villa are the first team in the relegation place for the 2020/21 season following their 2-0 home defeat to Manchester City.

They are level on points with ten other sides but have a worse goal difference.

You would expect them to climb up the table tomorrow and leave the relegation place as the other teams will begin their season and one team could be beaten by a higher margin than them.

The FA WSL champions league places race 05/09

Manchester City are top of the League following their 2-0 win away to Aston Villa.

The three teams currently in the Champions League places are Manchester City, Arsenal and Birmingham.

There should be some changes tomorrow as the other ten teams will come into action for the first time this season.
