In the debate about winter breaks, one thing that doesn't always get discussed is the impact it has on form and momentum. City Women have been absolutely flying (10 league wins and 3 in the cup) since early September's loss to Chelsea and might even have preferred not to take three weeks off. Here's hoping they haven't been too unrestrained near the Quality Street tin.
Neither Manchester City nor Chelsea have played in the league since 14 December and, yes, you would have to say that the break favours Chelsea, although they were in pretty fine form before Christmas with scorelines of 9-1 against Liverpool and 6-0 against Roma. Ominous.
A WSL transfer line is that Arsenal – who drew 0-0 with Manchester United yesterday – are interested in signing England’s Georgia Stanway on a free transfer.
