Chelsea is a dominant force in the Barclays Women's Super League; a legacy built during the Emma Hayes era. 

Her departure in 2024 marked the beginning of a fresh chapter under new head coach, Sonia Bompastor, whose arrival heralded a new style of play, tactical formations, and a dynamic influx of talent.

The Blues have a rich history of success. Since 2015, Chelsea has dominated the WSL with eight league titles, six of these being won consecutively. Hayes influenced this decade of dominance for the London side, Bompastor will continue this legacy.

Liverpool FC Women play their home games at the Wicked Stadium in St Helens. The club recently appointed former Manchester City head coach, Gareth Taylor as manager, with the immediate aim of securing their place in the Barclays Women’s Super League this season.

Liverpool have been re-establishing themselves as a competitive top-flight side after their back-to-back league titles in 2013 and 2014, followed by relegation in 2020. Since returning to the WSL in 2022, they targeted consistent mid-table finishes while strengthening the squad to push toward European qualification.
