Recent matches in the Women's Super League have highlighted a tactical trend: the return of long throw-ins. Once popular in the Premier League, this strategy is now being adopted in women's football, with Chelsea under Sonia Bompastor making eight successful throws into the penalty area this year. This tactic, supported by specialized training and data analysis, is gaining traction.

Chelsea is known for their adaptability and diverse tactical approaches, making them difficult to defeat. They remain unbeaten in their last 31 matches (27 wins and 4 draws) and excel in set pieces, scoring more goals from these situations than any other team in the league.

Manchester United is also maintaining high standards, relying on Melvine Malard, the league's top scorer. Malard has scored five goals faster than any other United player in a single campaign, showcasing her ability to create and finish attacks, crucial for United's ambitions at the top.

The Women's Super League is becoming increasingly exciting with new tactical developments and talented players like Malard. Chelsea continues to dominate, but the competition from Manchester clubs is strong, promising dynamic and competitive matches ahead.
