Chelsea boss Hayes expects Women’s Super League title race to ‘go up to final day’

Chelsea manager Emma Hayes is expecting the Women’s Super League title race to go right down to the wire.

The Blues sit top of the table and they host Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening.

Chelsea are a point clear of Arsenal with three games to go. Hayes has warned her side against complacency.

“Yes, we’re in the driving seat but we haven’t won anything yet,” she said ahead of Spurs’ visit to Kingsmeadow.

“We need to keep our feet on the floor and keep grafting.

“It’s been a brilliant season. We’ve come from the position we have to now lead the league; going neck and neck with Arsenal to the wire is what fans want to see.

“And I’m sure that will be the case – it will go right up to the final day.”

“I think it’s great for the game worldwide.”

Chelsea face Tottenham for the second time in five days after coming from behind to beat them 3-1 on Sunday, having played for almost an hour with 10 players.

With Arsenal not in action again until the weekend, a seventh successive Blues victory would open up a four-point gap at the summit.

Hayes’ side travel to Birmingham on Sunday and then complete the campaign at home to Manchester United, while the Gunners host Aston Villa and Tottenham before a final-day trip to West Ham.
