Kim Little and Lia Walti of Arsenal emphasize the importance of the midfield battle against Chelsea in their upcoming Women's Super League clash. Both players argue that controlling the midfield is pivotal for victory, with Little noting that success often hinges on being dominant in that area. The match represents a must-win for Arsenal, who have not won the league since 2019 and face a formidable challenge against a Chelsea team that has achieved five consecutive titles. The rivalry is intense, and both players acknowledge the significance of beating Chelsea to shift momentum in the league.
It's a very important part of when each team is successful, Little says. When we feel like we're on top, in the middle, we generally win the game.
We need to beat Chelsea really, it's as simple as that, says Little. Her midfield partner goes further: Every game in this league is important but the Chelsea one has a different meaning.
