Arsenal and Chelsea do battle, Villa’s Avengers, and returning to ACL injuries

We’re back! Chloe and Rachel are joined by Ceylon Andi Hickman to kick off 2023 with a bang and with some huuuuge transfers.


We discuss the end of an era for two Lionesses. And as Vivianne Miedema begins the year on the physio’s table, we return to the issue of ACL injuries and what can be done. Plus, the WSL’s two old enemies meet this weekend and we offer our stories and players to watch for 2023! And there are some bold – definitely bold – predictions.
