The Women's Super League is back with a bang as Arsenal and Manchester United face off at the Emirates Stadium on January 10, 2026. The match kicks off at 12:30 PM GMT and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League in the UK and Ireland. Live commentary will also be available.

Both teams are vying for a strong position in the league, with Arsenal currently ahead of Manchester United by just one point. Arsenal sits eight points adrift of table-topping Manchester City. With Tottenham Hotspur close behind both teams in the standings, the stakes are high for this encounter.

Arsenal enters the game with Leah Williamson making her first league start of the season after recovering from injury. The Gunners will be without first-choice goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar, who is close to returning from injury, and Kyra Cooney-Cross, who is in Australia with her family. Jenna Nighswonger will also be absent as she nears a loan move. The Arsenal lineup includes Borbe in goal; McCabe, Catley, Williamson, and Fox in defense; Caldentey and Little in midfield; Smith, Maanum, and Mead; and Russo upfront.

Manchester United's new signings, Hanna Lundkvist and Lea Schuller, start on the bench. Marc Skinner has confirmed that Ella Toone, Leah Galton, and Gabby George are out due to injury. Millie Turner has recovered from a spell on the sidelines. United's likely lineup includes Tullis-Joyce, Sandberg, Le Tissier, Park, Malard, Terland, Rolfo, Riviere, Janssen, Zigiotti and Hinata.

Arsenal has a strong home record, remaining unbeaten in their last 26 home league matches, with 21 wins and 4 draws. In their last two WSL campaigns, Manchester United have lost away to Arsenal. However, Manchester United's last league fixture was a 3-3 draw against Tottenham.

Over 35,000 fans are expected to attend the match at the Emirates Stadium. Entertainment will begin early with London's all-female brass band, "She's Got Brass," playing from 10:30 AM, followed by a pre-match show at 11:30 AM.
