The Women's Super League is back from the winter break, with teams at both ends of the table looking to kick-start the second half of the campaign on a high.

Chelsea's perfect start to life under Sonia Bompastor was halted by a draw with Leicester City before the break, but they will want to get back to winning ways against West Ham.

There is also the Manchester derby to look forward to as both teams look to put some pressure on the Blues, while Arsenal, still unbeaten under interim boss Renee Slegers' charge, take on Crystal Palace with the same goal in mind.

Before that, struggling Liverpool will host high-flying Brighton to get the competition back under way on Friday. Aston Villa take a trip of their own to face Everton the following day before Tottenham take on Leicester City to start Sunday's action.

But who does the Opta supercomputer predict will emerge victorious on matchday 11? Here, we look at the data to find out.

LIVERPOOL V BRIGHTON

Liverpool will perhaps feel the winter break came at the right time for them after losing each of their last four WSL games without scoring a single goal, though they are predicted to get back to winning ways at St Helen's Stadium.

The Opta supercomputer gives them a 57.7% chance of triumphing against Brighton, with a 22% chance of the match ending level. The Seagulls, whose bright start stalled somewhat before the break, are given just a 20.3% chance of getting all three points.

The Reds have never lost five consecutive games without hitting the back of the net before, and Brighton may be the perfect team to avoid that – they have won each of their last three WSL matches against the Seagulls, including a 4-0 win in this exact fixture last season.

Dario Vidosic's side will be determined to turn their fortunes back around, though, they were beaten 4-2 by Chelsea before battling to a 1-1 draw with Tottenham in their last two games.

As the surprise package, they have prioritised control. They rank first for average possession share (53.2%), passes made (4,917) and open-play sequences of 10+ passes (105) outside of the top three sides, meaning Liverpool will have to work for their first win since November 3.

EVERTON V ASTON VILLA

It took both Everton and Aston Villa until matchday eight to get their first wins on the board, but they have since won two of their last three outings to put some distance between themselves and the relegation zone.

The away team has won 88% of the eight WSL meetings between these sides, but the supercomputer is favouring Everton here, with a 43.5% chance of winning compared to Villa's 29.7%.

The Toffees do boast a positive record against Villa, winning five of their eight league matches against them (L3), but recent history does not bode well for them.

They lost this exact fixture 2-1 last season, while they have won their first league match in a calendar year just twice since 2018 (L5).

And if they want to win on Saturday, they will have to find a way to keep Adriana Leon quiet – she was involved in seven goals in her final eight WSL starts of 2024 (five goals, two assists).

TOTTENHAM V LEICESTER CITY

It has been a tough season for Leicester and Amandine Miquel so far, having registered just one win, but she will be hoping their 1-1 draw with leaders Chelsea before the break can be a spark.

However, the Foxes have not won any of their last 10 away games in the WSL (going 397 minutes without scoring) and have lost on each of their previous three trips to Tottenham.

Leicester also rank bottom for total shots (68) and goals scored (three) in the league this season, so it is perhaps no surprise Spurs are favourites to win this one.

The supercomputer gives the hosts, who are unbeaten in six against Leicester, a 59.8% chance of a victory. They have a 21.1% chance of leaving with a point, while Leicester have a 19.2% probability of getting their second win of the campaign.

There could be history made on Sunday too. Bethany England is just two goals away from becoming the WSL's all-time leading goalscorer and could overtake Vivianne Miedema, with Manchester City not playing until later that day.

ARSENAL V CRYSTAL PALACE

Arsenal's turnaround under interim boss Renee Slegers has been nothing short of inspired, and they could temporarily move second if they beat bottom club Crystal Palace.

After losing their first-ever such game against Man City, who they would leapfrog in the table, in May 2014, Arsenal have since gone unbeaten in 25 WSL matches against newly promoted opposition (W22 D3), winning the last six in a row.

The Gunners are in formidable form, having won their last four league matches, but perhaps more worrying for Palace is the fact that their last trip to Arsenal ended in a 9-0 thrashing in the FA Cup in May 2021.

Arsenal are firm favourites to extend their winning run to five matches, with an 87.6% probability. Palace need something close to a miracle to upset the odds, with an 8% chance of a draw, and a measly 4.4% likelihood of claiming a shock three points.

WEST HAM V CHELSEA

Bompastor's team were stopped just short of a WSL winning record by their draw with Leicester, but the Blues are still top of the pile by some way.

Their tally of 28 points after 10 games (W9 D1) is the best-ever by a team at this stage of a WSL campaign, and it will take something special to halt their current charge.

West Ham have never beaten Chelsea in the WSL, failing to win any of their 12 matches against them (D1 L11), with their only point coming from a 1-1 draw in March 2019.

Chelsea both scored the most goals (70) and conceded the fewest (13) of any team in the WSL in 2024, and their dominance is expected to show again. The supercomputer gives Chelsea an 82.9% chance of winning.

The Hammers have won their last two home games, but the chances of that run extending to three are just 7.7%, with a draw only slightly more likely at 9.4%.

MANCHESTER CITY V MANCHESTER UNITED

A blockbuster Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium rounds off the WSL action for the weekend, with the teams separated by a single point in the table.

City are not only aiming to close the gap to Chelsea at the top, but to bounce back from a disappointing 2-1 loss to Everton before the break. United could prove the perfect opponents though, as City have lost just one of their previous 10 meetings with their neighbours.

A City win would also mark Gareth Taylor's 73rd victory as a WSL manager, moving him outright second for the most wins in the competition, behind Emma Hayes with 151.

Marc Skinner's side can leapfrog City in the table with a victory, though the supercomputer gives them just an 18.6% chance of doing that. The Citizens, meanwhile, are expected to triumph at 60.8% (20.6% for a draw).

However, the Red Devils have never won away at their city rivals, with their sole victory in this fixture coming at home in May 2023 (2-1).
