Lianne Sanderson is backing Chelsea to win the Women’s Super League title this weekend, against stats provided to her. Chelsea’s manager Emma Hayes had previously given up hope after a 4-3 loss to Liverpool in early May. However, they have bounced back with two wins and a loss for rivals Manchester City against Arsenal. Chelsea now lead in the standings with a better goal difference of +47 compared to City’s +45. This puts them in a good position heading into their final game against Manchester United. On the other hand, City will face Aston Villa hoping to overcome the goal difference gap. Despite the close race, Sanderson believes that Chelsea will emerge victorious. Sanderson expressed her views to Stats Perform, highlighting Emma Hayes’ acceptance of defeat, which surprised many. She praised Manchester City for their strong season under Gareth Taylor. Sanderson predicted that Chelsea would ultimately come out on top in the title race over City. She also noted that Taylor should have faced more pressure considering City’s failure to qualify for the Champions League. Still, she commended him for finding the right balance in the team after some challenging periods.
