The Premier League is not the only title race between Manchester City and Arsenal, with the two clubs also doing battle at the top of the Women's Super League, where the advantage is with City after their nervy win over Liverpool at the weekend.
Republic of Ireland international Katie McCabe's Arsenal must win their three games in hand to take it to the final day, but boss Renee Slegers believes her side are ready to do just that despite the disappointment of their Women’s Champions League exit at the hands of Lyon.
"You could see straight away they were humble in defeat," said Slegers, who gave her squad a day off.
"So far it says something about the growth of the team that the way we respond to setbacks and put things in perspective is we come together, we take ownership and we move on."
England forward Beth Mead will be back at Slegers’ disposal, but the trip to Brighton comes too soon for Australian defender Steph Catley.
Mead was missing from both legs of their Champions League semi-final loss to Lyon.
The first of those three vital clashes against Brighton and Hove Albion will kick-off this evening (Wednesday 6 May) at 7:45pm and McCabe will likely face fellow Republic of Ireland international Caitlin Hayes who joined the southern English outfit in January 2025.
Sleger's side remain 11 points adrift of Manchester City but have three games in hand and have won all five of their last league games.
