Hannah Hampton, the standout goalkeeper from England’s Euro 2025 victory, has continued to dazzle in the new Women’s Super League (WSL) season. Chelsea coach Bompastor praised Hampton, describing her as possibly the best goalkeeper in the world. Hampton’s prowess is not limited to just goalkeeping; her strategic use of possession also strengthens Chelsea’s overall gameplay. Her confidence, bolstered by her successes with both Chelsea and the England national team, is evident on the field.
Chelsea, inspired by Hampton’s form, aims for a third consecutive WSL win when they face Leicester following victories over Aston Villa and Manchester City. Bompastor noted the WSL’s competitiveness, emphasizing that each match presents a unique challenge as teams are eager to halt Chelsea’s winning streak.
In other league developments, Arsenal could see the return of England winger Chloe Kelly, who had been sidelined by a minor injury. Arsenal coach Renee Slegers is optimistic about Kelly’s recovery, indicating her participation in upcoming trainings. Arsenal faces Manchester United, who are buoyed by a recent Champions League qualification after defeating Norway’s Brann.
Sunday promises an exciting line-up as Aston Villa squares off against Liverpool and West Ham takes on Brighton. These matches underscore the competitive and unpredictable nature of the WSL, where any team can shine on their day.
