The job she has done overall since she first came in has been a very, very good one. This year as well they are still in with a chance of winning the Champions League, they are in the League Cup final, and are still in the FA Cup, so things are positive, just not in the league this time unfortunately. Tottenham v Chelsea (14: 25 GMT) On Friday, Chelsea announced that head coach Sonia Bompastor has extended her contract with the club until 2030. The 45-year-old arrived from Lyon in May 2024 after Emma Hayes' departure and led the Blues to an unbeaten domestic treble in her first campaign, winning the Women's Super League, FA Cup and League Cup. However, having been crowned WSL champions for the past six seasons, Chelsea are now 12 points off leaders Manchester City in third place after a disappointing run of form. In a statement, Bompastor thanked the club for their "unwavering support and the trust they have shown in me". The Frenchwoman added: "It's a privilege to lead this team and I could not be prouder to represent Chelsea. "We have so much left to fight for, we are competing on four fronts, and we will give everything. My focus is firmly on bringing more success to this amazing club. " Tottenham v Chelsea (14: 25 GMT) Two players who could be key to Tottenham's fortunes this afternoon are Bethany England and Olivia Holdt . Only Khadija Shaw’s goals (14 goals, 8 points) have yielded more points for their side in the WSL this season than those from Tottenham pair England (4 goals, 7 points) and Holdt (4 goals, 6 points). Denmark winger Holdt is one of only two players to score from outside the area this season with both her left foot (vs Man City) and right foot (vs West Ham) alongside Brighton’s Marisa Olislagers. Tottenham v Chelsea (14: 25 GMT) While we take a breather in the first four games of the day, let's look ahead to the late afternoon kick off in north London. High-flying Tottenham are aiming to sneak into the Champions League spots this season, but they must finish above at least two of Manchester United, Arsenal, and today's opponents Chelsea to do so. London City Lionesses 0-0 Everton London City Lionesses have dominated, but Everton goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan has been in fine form. Ruby Mace has also cleared an effort off the line, with Grace Geyoro also heading against the post. Liverpool 2-1 Aston Villa Liverpool in control for most of this half, but Aston Villa managed to snatch one back before the end. A reminder that this could be a massive win for Liverpool if they get it over the line. They would end up two points off the bottom if West Ham lose. Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say Come on Liverpool, don’t lose this now! Especially now West Ham are losing too, you need this win. Paul, Truro Arsenal 1-0 Man City Olivia Smith's 17th minute strike remains the difference between these two giants at the break. Arsenal 1-0 Man City 41. 6% of the play in the last 15 minutes of this first half has taken place inside the City defensive third. If they are to keep their 14 game unbeaten league run going that will have to change. Arsenal 1-0 Man City Olivia Smith looks like she's stolen a march behind the City defence yet again but Jade Rose gets back brilliantly to nick the ball off her toes before she can get a shot away. West Ham 0-1 Brighton Brighton lead at the break thanks to Kiko Seike's lofted effort. This result is taking West Ham bottom as it stands, they have 45 minutes to fix it. Arsenal 1-0 Man City Russo gets up the highest in the middle to nod the resulting corner at goal, forcing Yamashita to tip over the bar. Arsenal 1-0 Man City Ouch, that's a sore one for City defender Jade Rose. In attempting to stop Alessia Russo from shooting inside the box she caught a swift kick to the shin, as Ayaka Yamashita was required to rescue at the last with a sharp save. Arsenal 1-0 Man City Plenty of 'ooos' and 'ahhs' from the home fans as Arsenal continue to purr in attack. You start to wonder at what stage they will regret not capitalising on this dominance if they continue to dominate without scoring a second. After all, City will kick into gear at some point won't they? Miri Taylor (41 mins) Out of absolutely nowhere! Liverpool can't clear their lines under pressure from Aston Villa and Kirsty Hanson snatches the ball down the right-hand side. She dinks a cross to the edge of the box and Miri Taylor lashes an effort into the top corner. Kiko Seike Brighton take the lead and Kiko Seike gets the goal. It is a long ball forwards from Moeka Minami and with home goalkeeper Kinga Szemik off her line, Seike has the composure to lob the ball over Szemik and into the net. That's Seike's sixth goal of the season in the WSL. Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa Aston Villa's Lucy Parker is the first player to go into the book. She tugs Ceri Holland's shirt. Her frustration with Holland is reasonable. She has absolutely torn up the right side of Villa's defence today. London City Lionesses 0-0 Everton A rare attack from Everton and Inma Gabarro fires the ball goalwards from a tight angle, but home goalkeeper Elene Lete shows good handling to catch the strike. Arsenal 1-0 Man City Khadija Shaw finally forces Daphne van Domselaar into action after making space for a shot on the top left corner of the area. Though the keeper need only bend down and pick up the ball as a deflection takes all the pace off it. Arsenal 1-0 Man City Jayne Ludlow Former Arsenal captain on Sky Sports I wouldn't write off this City team yet. They've been prolific all season. It's early days, and the players on this pitch can change the game any second. Last Updated 8th February 2026 at 12: 50 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.
