Arsenal Women v Manchester City Women: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Arsenal Women picked up a crucial win in the Women's Super League on Sunday, beating Manchester City Women 4-3 and they will hope to follow that up with another success when they host the same opponents in the Women's League Cup semi-finals.

The hosts are the defending champions, having won the last two editions of this tournament, and are the record winners, having lifted the trophy on seven occasions.

The Citizens were victorious in 2022, but their recent form is a worry and they may fall short again in this last-four clash.

Arsenal Women v Manchester City Women betting tips and predictions

Arsenal Women - 9/10

Arsenal Women have been in fine form after a poor start to the season, winning 12 of their last 13 games in all competitions.

The last of those was a thrilling end-to-end victory over City on Sunday in which the Gunners led twice before being pegged back on both occasions.

A late Stina Blackstenius winner has kept their faint hopes of the Women' s Super League title alive, they are currently 10 points adrift of runaway leaders Chelsea.

The home team bolstered their ranks with the shock loan signing of Chloe Kelly from the Citizens in January, but she is ineligible to feature in this clash.

Renee Slegers’ side are firmly on the up and have a strong recent head-to-head record against these opponents, winning four of their last six meetings.

They are also unbeaten in their last 11 games in this competition and are fancied to continue that run by beating these opponents to reach the final.

Defence has been a real issue for the visitors recently, they have just one clean sheet in their last seven games and conceded 16 goals in that run.

They have lost to the likes of Everton and Manchester United in recent times and this Arsenal team are a significant step up on that.

The Gunners should have the attacking firepower to get the better of this leaky City defence and are fancied to take one step closer to winning this competition for the third season in a row with a semi-final victory. 

Alessia Russo to score at anytime - 7/4

Unusually Alessia Russo missed out on getting on the scoresheet in the 4-3 win for her team over these opponents on Sunday, but she has been in fine goalscoring form this season and is fancied to make amends in this game.

The English forward has 11 goals in all competitions this season and has been in particularly fine scoring form in the Women’s Super League, where her seven strikes put her in second place in the scoring rankings.

She is likely to feature from the left flank as she did against the Citizens on Sunday and is fancied to find the net.

Khadija Shaw to be shown a card - 11/2

City’s Khadija Shaw is slowly being returned to first-team football after an injury absence and she featured from the bench in Sunday’s 4-3 defeat to these opponents.

Gareth Taylor has stated that she may be fit to start in this cup clash, but any ring rust could produce a mis-timed challenge.

The Jamaican has been booked three times in 11 WSL and Champions League starts this season and could pick up another here.
