The U.S. based online streaming platform will offer live coverage of two FA WSL games, starting with Chelsea taking on Tottenham on Sunday, Jan. 31, at 7:30 a.m. ET. Subsequently, Everton is set to host second-place Manchester United at Walton Hall Park. Kick off is set for 9:30 a.m. ET.
Chelsea vs Tottenham
Emma Hayes' Blues are undefeated and on a mission to win back-to-back WSL titles, entering their 12th game of the season with nine wins, two draws, 34 goals scored, six clean sheets and 29 points. On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur has enjoyed its best stint of the 2020/21 season under new manager Rehanne Skinner, who has yet to lose a league match since joining in November 2020.
Chelsea claimed back the league's first spot from Manchester United after taking down Aston Villa in a mid-week matchup that ended 4-0. Forward Samantha Kerr and attacking midfielder Guro Reiten shined against the Villains contributing to two goals each. Kerr is now tied for second in the league's scoring charts with eight goals alongside teammate Fran Kirby, who did not feature on Wednesday's game.
Skinner's Lilywhites enter this fixture in seventh place with 12 points after ten games. Relegation is no longer in the picture as they have gained 11 points from their last five games. Their goal now is to improve as a squad to come back next season stronger and with a better plan to crack into the title race.
Everton vs. Manchester United
Willie Kirk's Everton has had trouble maintaining its winning form from earlier in the season when coming up against the bigger teams in the league. The Toffees enjoyed four wins and one draw at the start of their campaign, defeating Bristol City, Tottenham, Aston Villa, West Ham and tying Brighton & Hove Albion. However, Everton was brought back to earth when it faced Chelsea, Reading, Manchester City and Arsenal, only taking one point from the four games. Nonetheless, Everton has been proactive during the transfer window bringing in English veteran Jill Scott from Manchester City and Switzerland's Alisha Lehmann from West Ham United.
Manchester United will be forced to win its remaining ten league games to have a chance at lifting the WSL title, starting with Everton on Sunday. The Red Devils are coming off a 2-0 win at home over Birmingham City. The result might look good since it was a win, but Man Utd is in dire need of goals given that its goal differential compared to the other three teams challenging for the title. Casey Stoney's United has the lowest goal differential – 19 – from the top four teams – Chelsea, 28, Manchester City, 27, Arsenal, 30.
