WSL title race: BBC pundits predict who will win on final day

Prediction: Chelsea

Chelsea’s record at home is strong. They have turned Kingsmeadow into a fortress.

The game will be open because Manchester United have to win to have any chance of gaining that third spot which would earn qualification for the Champions League. I think that will work in Chelsea’s favour as their strengths are on the counter-attack and I see their squad mentality thriving in this situation.

They are a strong unit with leadership all over the park and, of course, huge credit needs to be given to Emma Hayes and her staff. The staff are mentality machines – capable of producing a squad like this that can keep on winning, even in difficult moments. That’s not easy and it takes years to build.

Arsenal are the best team I’ve played against this year in terms of possession, ball speed and movement. That’s the biggest credit I can pay them. Each time they suffocated us. I think for their longer-term quest to win titles, they need to harness that feeling they gave to us and give it to every team consistently like Chelsea do, but in their own style. That is down to squad depth and a winning mentality.
