Sports Mole previews Friday’s Women’s Super League clash between Chelsea Women and Arsenal Women, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Arguably the biggest game of the Women’s Super League season to date takes place on Friday evening, when league leaders Arsenal Women travel to Kingsmeadow, where they face second-placed Chelsea Women.
The Gunners are at risk of being leapfrogged by the Blues, who currently sit two points behind Arsenal, meaning that three points for the hosts will see them move into top spot and still have a game in hand to their advantage.

Chelsea will be looking to continue their winning run in all…
