Arsenal captain Kim Little acknowledges that her team’s chances of winning the Women Super League title have diminished following a 3-1 loss to leaders Chelsea. Chelsea victory at Stamford Bridge put them three points ahead of Manchester City and six points ahead of Arsenal. Despite the setback, Little remains determined stating that Arsenal will give their all in the remaining six league games.

The match against Chelsea was marred by a kit mix-up but Little refused to use it as an excuse for the defeat. Former Arsenal and Chelsea player Karen Carney criticized Arsenal for not seizing the opportunity to challenge for the title while Arsenal manager Jonas Eidevall expressed dissatisfaction with his team’s performance.

However, Arsenal still has a chance to win silverware in the League Cup final against Chelsea. Despite the setback in the league, Arsenal remains focused on achieving success in other competitions.
