The new Women's Super League marks the start of a new era for reigning champions Chelsea, with long-serving boss Emma Hayes having departed in summer to start a new adventure with the USA Women's team.

Liverpool's new Dutch coach Arne Slot has rattled through that list of objectives and is pleasantly sat at the Premier League's summit. A sensational week that involved wins over Southampton and European champions Real Madrid was capped by an exceptional display and victory against Premier League title holders Manchester City last Sunday.
