The 2024/25 WSL season has kicked off with a strong start. Only two teams, Chelsea and Manchester United, have won their first two matches. However, Manchester City currently sits at the top of the standings with one more game played than their rivals. At the bottom of the table, Everton and West Ham United are tied on one point and goal difference.
Some notable results from the opening matchdays include Chelsea’s dominant 7-0 victory over Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion’s comfortable 4-0 win against Everton. Arsenal and Manchester City faced each other in a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Emirates.
Manchester United has had a strong start to the new season after last year’s inconsistency and fifth-place finish. They secured a convincing 3-0 win against West Ham in their opening game and followed it up with a hard-fought 1-0 victory away at Everton. Grace Clinton has been instrumental in both victories, scoring crucial goals while also maintaining clean sheets defensively.
Brighton has emerged as a surprise package this season after making significant recruitment moves during the summer. They started with an impressive win against Everton but were narrowly defeated by Manchester City in their second match.
As expected, reigning WSL champions Chelsea have begun the new season strongly. They secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Aston Villa before demolishing Crystal Palace with seven unanswered goals. Despite playing one less game than their closest competitors, Chelsea currently boasts the best goal difference in the league.
Looking ahead, there are exciting matches on the horizon for these top teams as they face off against each other to solidify their positions in the league standings.
