Predicted Position: 2nd
Last Season’s Position: 2nd

Prospects
Arsenal faced disappointment last season, failing to secure silverware despite finishing second in the Women’s Super League. The team struggled in the inaugural Fifa Champions Cup, which overshadowed their Champions League success from 2025. This summer, the club has undergone significant changes, with 11 players departing—notably legends Beth Mead and Katie McCabe—and seven new signings joining the roster. Key acquisitions include Ona Batlle, Georgia Stanway, Géraldine Reuteler, and Selina Cerci, bringing both experience and youth to the squad.

With a full pre-season under her belt, manager Renée Slegers aims to improve on their previous slow starts, having secured Champions League qualification through their second-place finish. The title race is expected to be competitive, but Arsenal seeks to end a seven-year title drought. Technical director Jodie Taylor stated, “We want to win the league and take that next step.”

Off-field Picture
Arsenal's revenue rose to £21.5m for the year ending May 2025, driven by increased matchday attendance and broadcast deals. The average attendance for WSL home games exceeded 34,000, marking a significant growth in fan engagement. However, the club remains reliant on funds from its parent organization, with group income increasing to £11.85m.

Star Signing
Georgia Stanway, a two-time Euro winner, stands out as a significant addition, bringing physicality and a competitive edge to the midfield. Her existing rapport with teammates enhances her potential impact.

Stat Attack
Arsenal excelled in expected points metrics last season but drew six matches, preventing them from clinching the league title.

Set for a Breakthrough
Young talents Michelle Agyemang and Katie Reid are set to return from injuries, aiming to regain their form after a year off.
