Preamble
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Brighton v Arsenal from Crawley. The venue has changed but it’s still Brighton away, which means an overload of happy memories for Arsenal supporters. Their team clinched last season’s title – their first since 2012 – with a 4-0 win at the Amex Stadium.
There’s a long way to go in this year’s title race, but a win feels almost as important. The Big Three have set a blistering pace at the top of the WSL, with Arsenal ahead of Manchester City on alphabetical order.
The title may be decided not by their mini-league with Chelsea, but by who drops the fewest points against the rest of the division. So far, Chelsea are the only team to have done so, with 1-1 draws at Liverpool and – yep – Brighton. Even in mid-January, Arsenal know that anything less then the best is a felony.
Kick off is at 12.30pm.
