Updated Sunday 6 September 2026. The original WindsorCastle.info preview looked ahead to the opening weekend of the 2026/27 Women’s Super League. The weekend is now complete, so this article has been corrected and expanded to show the confirmed results, current league table, what the original preview did and did not predict, and the next fixtures to watch.
Opening Weekend: Results
| Date | Fixture | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 4 September | London City Lionesses v Manchester United | 2–1 |
| 5 September | Chelsea v Aston Villa | 1–1 |
| 6 September | Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham United | 3–1 |
| 6 September | Brighton & Hove Albion v Arsenal | 0–1 |
| 6 September | Charlton Athletic v Liverpool | 0–4 |
| 6 September | Crystal Palace v Everton | 1–0 |
| 6 September | Manchester City v Birmingham City | 3–1 |
The confirmed results are consistent across current football results sources. citeturn1search1turn1search3
What Happened to the Original Preview?
Important correction: the original article was primarily a fixture and season preview. It did not publish seven explicit win/draw/loss predictions or predicted scores. It therefore would be misleading to claim that all seven outcomes were correctly predicted. The article has been corrected so readers can distinguish genuine predictions from general preview comments.
| Original preview theme | What happened? | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| London City v Manchester United would provide an immediate test | London City won 2–1. | Broadly supported — the match proved competitive and significant. |
| Chelsea v Aston Villa would establish early momentum | They drew 1–1. | Partly supported — both opened with a point, but neither took maximum momentum. |
| Sunday could produce an early surprise | Several notable results arrived, including Palace beating Everton and Liverpool winning 4–0 at Charlton. | Supported — the opening weekend produced meaningful surprises and strong statements. |
| Which teams would make the strongest starts? | Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham, London City, Arsenal and Crystal Palace all won. | Answered by results rather than by an explicit original prediction. |
This distinction is important: a preview can identify storylines without actually predicting a result. Future WindsorCastle.info articles will label prediction, confidence and reason separately.

What the Results Tell Us
- Liverpool made the biggest statement: a 4–0 away win at newly promoted Charlton produced the best goal difference of the opening round.
- Manchester City started their title defence positively: the champions beat Birmingham 3–1, with Khadija Shaw scoring twice.
- Arsenal kept a clean sheet: Lisa Baum scored on her debut in a 1–0 win at Brighton.
- London City immediately look interesting: their 2–1 win over Manchester United underlined the scale of their ambition.
- Crystal Palace began life back in the WSL with a win: Lexi Lloyd-Smith’s goal settled a 1–0 match against Everton.
- Chelsea and Aston Villa shared the points: the 1–1 draw leaves both clubs needing an early win to move into the leading group.
Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and the other opening winners now have early evidence behind them, but one match is far too small a sample to make reliable season-long predictions. citeturn1news14turn1news15
Next WSL Games — 12 & 13 September
| Date | Fixture | Editorial preview | Early outcome view |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Sep | West Ham v London City | London City arrive after beating Manchester United and have major attacking talent. West Ham need a response after losing to Spurs. | London City slight favourite |
| 13 Sep | Manchester United v Chelsea | United need a reaction after defeat in the opener; Chelsea have a point but will want more. This should be much tighter than a simple table comparison suggests. | Draw / Chelsea slight edge |
| 13 Sep | Everton v Charlton | Both lost their openers. Charlton conceded four and Everton failed to score, making this an important early six-pointer. | Everton slight favourite |
| 13 Sep | Liverpool v Tottenham | Two opening winners meet. Liverpool’s 4–0 result was the strongest statement, while Spurs scored three against West Ham. | Liverpool slight favourite |
| 13 Sep | Birmingham v Brighton | Both sides lost their openers, but Birmingham scored against champions Manchester City and Brighton kept Arsenal to one goal. | Very close — draw possible |
| 13 Sep | Arsenal v Crystal Palace | Both opened with wins and clean sheets. Arsenal have the deeper title credentials, but Palace have already shown they can frustrate opponents. | Arsenal favourite |
| 13 Sep | Aston Villa v Manchester City | Villa drew with Chelsea; City beat Birmingham 3–1. City start with the stronger recent evidence, but Villa have home advantage. | Manchester City favourite |
The next round is scheduled for 12–13 September, including West Ham v London City, Manchester United v Chelsea, Liverpool v Tottenham and Aston Villa v Manchester City. citeturn0search0turn0search1
How We Will Measure Future Predictions
| Prediction | Result after match | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Win / Draw / Loss | Confirmed result | Correct or incorrect |
| Predicted score | Final score | Exact score / correct result / incorrect |
| Confidence | Actual performance | High, medium or low confidence reviewed |
| Reason | Key match factors | Explain what mattered |
This gives WindsorCastle.info a transparent record. A prediction will never be described as successful simply because part of the preview happened to match the eventual story.
Upcoming Match Rounds
After the 12–13 September fixtures, the WSL schedule includes Manchester City v Liverpool and Charlton Athletic v London City Lionesses on 18–19 September, followed by Arsenal v Manchester United and other fixtures on 19–20 September. citeturn0search0
