The WSL returns this weekend, with two games live on Sky Sports on Sunday. But where did we leave things and what is coming up in 2024?
There were two shock twists in the WSL title race before the winter break. Firstly, Arsenal were 4-1 winners against Chelsea — their only loss of the season so far — sending the Gunners level on points with the Blues.
Jonas Eidevall's side were unable to consolidate that win the following week, losing the North London Derby for the first time in the WSL to Tottenham.
Chelsea went on to beat Bristol City the same weekend, re-establishing their three-point lead at the top of the WSL.

But their winter break has been marred by an ACL injury to Sam Kerr, although they have already signed Nathalie Bjorn from Everton. Arsenal too have landed USA international defender Emily Fox as teams continue to strengthen ahead of the WSL's return.
The Blues sit on 25 points, with Manchester City — who will play live on Sky Sports this weekend — and Arsenal level on 22 points in second and third respectively. Gareth Taylor's side are second on goal difference, and have somewhat been quietly going about their business.
Since a shock 1-0 defeat to Brighton in November, Man City have won all four of their WSL games, including a 3-1 win against Manchester United and a 7-0 thrashing of Tottenham. In that time, they have scored 16 goals and conceded just three.
