The WSL returns this weekend with Man City looking to leapfrog Chelsea and regain the top spot – even if it’s only for a while as neither Chelsea nor Arsenal are playing WSL matches this weekend. Instead, the teams will be it out in the League Cup final – in front of a crowd of more than 20,000 football fans.

Last year, Manchester United Women raked in revenues totalling £7 million, surpassing the average earnings of men’s professional teams in League Two (the fourth tier of professional men’s football in England). This remarkable increase of nearly £2 million from the previous year can be attributed to larger attendances and enhanced income from sponsorship agreements.
