The central fixture of the 16th round of the Women's Super League of the Football Association will take place on Friday at Kingsmeadow, where Chelsea will clash with Arsenal in the London derby. Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Chelsea
The "Blues" continue to lead the league table after 15 rounds, amassing 37 points. However, a recent defeat at home against Manchester City led to the "Citizens" catching up with Chelsea in the standings, only trailing them due to a worse goal difference.

Following that, the "Blues" secured a revenge victory over Manchester City in the League Cup, defeating them away with a score of 1-0. Additionally, they triumphed over Everton away in the FA Cup with the same scoreline.
Arsenal
The "Gunners" are chasing the leading duo, trailing them by three points. Arsenal's last defeat occurred in early February when they lost away to West Ham with a score of 1-2. Since then, Jonas Eidevall's team won two home matches in the Super League against Manchester United (3-1) and Tottenham (1-0). Like their opponent, Arsenal also played a League Cup match last week, where they thrashed Aston Villa at home with a score of 4-0. Overall, Arsenal has secured four victories in all competitions. However, in terms of away statistics, Arsenal lost two out of their last three matches.
