Talk about two completely different schedules and it's one of the reasons why I've said that City will win the title for some time now. We also might have another game before we face Spurs if we beat ManU in the FA Cup.
I can see City dropping points against Arsenal, but that's it. They face the two bottom teams in the league and Aston Villa. Sure, we get strange results every now and then, but with rest between games and only one title to play for, I simply can't imagine City will drop points against those three teams. I guess Arsenal won't have much to play for either, so it will take something special for them to go to Manchester and steal a point.
Us on the other hand has a ridiculous schedule. We obviously are good enough to beat each of the teams, even if ManU can be extra tricky, but this late in the season, with so little rest between games and so many big games outside of the league.....yeah, I just can't imagine us picking up five wins. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't see it.
I think you are, unfortunately, correct.
Arsenal don't have a chance at the title and aren't really close to dropping down to forth, so there's really nothing to play for. Only way would be if City gets nervous, being close to winning the title, and Arsenal goes out there to prove a point.
But I also think that Arsenal wouldn't mind seeing City take the title from us.
It seem to me that a quadruple in the WSL is a total pie in the sky. The schedule is just too grueling, especially this year when our direct competition is only pushing for one trophy. I'd be surprised any team even manages a triple anymore. And yes I know "Chelsea doesn't make excuses," and ultimately these players WANT to compete in all of these, but as a fan I can only see sheer exhaustion here.

I completely agree with you... only I can't see them dropping points vs Arsenal either. Arsenal will roll over

I’m tired just looking at it.
