WSL table: London City on the rise, Arsenal yet to find their form

The Barclays Women's Super League has made a quick start to its 2026-27 season. All 14 clubs have played several matches. Some teams are showing just how strong the league is, while others continue to stumble early in the season. The table highlights the up-and-down nature of the season so far.

Reigning champions Manchester City are unbeaten and, despite Chelsea's efforts, do not appear to face a serious rival. London City Lionesses are not overshadowed by the star names in their squad. Arsenal, on the other hand, seem stuck in the sand and have yet to find their form.

Teams in the middle of the table are also keeping the league exciting. Manchester United are preparing to get the upper hand in a fierce rivalry shared with Tottenham. Tottenham, meanwhile, are facing a tough fight for fourth place. Head coach Renee Slegers' position may come under growing pressure if the team cannot protect the winning scorelines it builds.

In the goalscoring race, Bunny Shaw leads by a wide margin with her seventh goal. Chelsea, after their stumble at the start of the season, look dangerous in attack with Lauren James and Alyssa Thompson. Everton, meanwhile, are sitting in the middle of the table thanks to their defence-based style, but they are struggling to score goals.
