Emma Hayes feels her Chelsea side must be perfect in the title run-in to be crowned Womens Super League champions again.Chelsea trail leaders Manchester United by four points but have two games in hand, the first of which is at home to lowly Leicester on Wednesday.The Blues who play United in the FA Cup final on Sunday complete their league programme with Minnesota Twins Custom Jersey trips to West Ham and Reading and a visit from Arsenal in between. We have to win all four games, Chelsea bo s Hayes said unequivocally at her pre-match pre s conference. Were in a good rhythm, we like the games.Its tiring in one element because its a quick turnaround, but the dre sing room would always prefer back-to-back games over lots of training.Chelsea are seeking a fourth succe sive WSL title and have scored 26 goals in four games against Leicester, including an 8-0 away win this season.But Hayes, who has top scorer Sam Kerr available after the Australia striker came off as a precaution in Sundays 7-0 thrashing of Everton, is taking nothing for granted.Leicester in their form are indicative of top five, top six, said Hayes, who refused to be drawn on speculation linking Magdalena Erik son and Pernille Harder with end of season moves to Bayern Munich.They are the most aggre sive team in the league and the most improved side in the whole of the WSL.They are Bert Blyleven Jersey going to be wounded from that (losing 8-0 at home) and theyve learned a lot since then.They have a point to prove and I made that clear to the players. I do not underestimate Leicester in any shape or form, and Anibal Sanchez Jersey I think this will be a game that will go the distance.Chelsea face an 11th-placed Leicester outfit who are two points clear of bottom side Reading with three more matches remaining, one more than the Royals.Since Willie Kirk took charge in November with the Foxes bottom on zero points, they have collected 13 from as many matches, winning four times.The Scots side were edged 1-0 at Arsenal last Friday and he said: Ive no doubt well be more competitive than that (8-0) game.It was a bad day at the office, but those early games were a little bit of finding out for me in terms of whos going to continue the journey, what we need to improve on. I feel weve ticked a lot of those boxes now and youre seeing a much different Leicester.We might be able to capitalise on them having a cup final four days later. But what it comes down to is how we go about it.Wednesday Harmon Killebrew Jersey s other game sees fourth-placed Arsenal play at Brighton.With two games in hand, the Gunners are three points behind third-placed Manchester City, who suffered a shock 2-1 lo s at Liverpool on Sunday. Asked about that result and for his thoughts on the table, Arsenal bo s Jonas Eidevall said: I dont care.We have four more games, we need to take one at a time, do our very best and if we do, we can finish as high as po sible in the table. Thats the only thing we can influence.The fixture was originally scheduled for January but postponed due to a frozen pitch. Brighton have since changed manager, Jens Scheuer being replaced by Meli sa Phillips, and secured seven points from four games under the American, moving up to ninth.Eidevall said: We would have liked to play them in January, of course, but now it is what it is, you never know Jason Castro Jersey where someone is going to put these games, with late broadcast pick and everything.I put that aside for now I definitely think thats a conversation for the future, to make this league more profe sional and fair. |
