Arsenal v Manchester City: Women's Super League final day – live!

25 min: City pile forward now, but can’t stop their move descending into a session of head tennis once Lauren Hemp tries to direct the ball back across goal.

24 min: Something of a lull after that fast start but here’s Miedema on the burst, and Kym Little is released. She might have done better than hit City goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck with her shot.

22 min: And now the City fans can be heard. Some calling down on their way to Brighton tomorrow?

20 min: Plenty of singing from the home fans. We have had their appropriated versions of Billy Ray Cyrus and DJ Otzi so far.

18 min: Corner to Arsenal won by Mead but City get that clear and Hemp charged onwards towards the opposing box but couldn’t keep the ball in.

17 min: City continue to push on. They want to place a question against Arsenal’s status as being the best around.

14 min: Gunners goalkeeper Van Veenendaal scrabbles to concede a corner. Walsh fires in a shot but it is deflected behind.

13 min: Beth Mead drives in a corner that Arsenal should have done better with. City’s defenders had been caught cold. Mead, who has been lively, then is thwarted by Steph Houghton, who has been kept busy.

11 min: Williamson goes close from Beth Mead’s free-kich, heading over as Steph Houghton put the pressure on.

10 min: City looking the likelier though Arsenal hold a latent threat on the break. Bloodworth tries to get Miedema clear on goal but the pass is just ever so slightly overhit.

8 min: Miedema springs into action, and gets a first shot in. Steph Houghton gets in the way. Then Arsenal force a corner which is headed clear.

6 min: Arsenal get into City territory at last, and Beth Mead steals in on the right after a ball by Williamson. She rattles the side-netting. A reminder of Arsenal’s quality, though they are yet to score against City this season.

4 min: City continue to attack. Arsenal looking a little distracted but their defence is holding firm for now.

2 min: No Georgia Stanway, so outstanding at Wembley last week for City, or Nikita Parris, who ran her legs off that day. Nick Cushing has shuffled his pack but City look much the more dangerous.

1 min: City go from the gun. Looks like they want to get this done quickly. They win a corner but it is cleared.

A sell-out crowd at Boreham Wood, and Manchester City’s players stage a guard of honour for Arsenal. “Championes, championes” rings out. Doesn’t that almost translate as “mushrooms, mushrooms”?

Manchester City manager Nick Cushing speaks.

We have an undefeated record we want to protect, it’s not a nothing game for us….I have said all along that the WSL is getting more and more competitive. Five draws have taken out chance of lifting the trophy. We know [Arsenal] are difficult opponents and worthy champions. They deserved to win the league.

Arsenal manager Joe Montemurro speaks.

It’s another 90 minutes, an important game. It’s a sell-out crowd, we want to end on a good note…It’s hard to keep a group focused when you win the championship, the players have had smiles on their faces. They will not have this opportunity again, they are going to try to put on a show.

Also interviewed this week by Suzanne Wrack, Alex Scott.

Read Suzanne Wrack’s interview with a proud Gunner.

This will be a gala day at Boreham Wood for Arsenal. The title is already theirs, they have led the league from almost start to finish and in Vivianne Miedema they have the goal machine who powered them to glory.

This also has the possibility of being a red-letter day for City. Last week, they won the FA Cup at a canter, though only after a first half in which West Ham were the better side. They also won the Continental Cup, beating Arsenal on penalties, and have been through the WSL season unbeaten, handing the Gunners one of their two defeats, a 2-0 win in December.

So, plenty riding on this one, with Arsenal seeking to puncture City’s invincibility, gaining revenge while they do so.
