Boots, Balls & Bras is back for another edition with Fara Williams and Anita Asante. In this epsiode, the pair dive into the weekend's results, including the London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal.

The Blues claimed a 1-0 win through a controversial penalty and subsequent rec card for Arsenal's Katie McCabe. Guro Reiten slotted it home and Bompastor's side march on to another win, pulling them further away from the chasing WSL pack.

They also discuss the thrilling 4-2 win for Man City over Aston Villa, largely thanks to Miedema's brace. Which of the two Manchester clubs has the best chance of challenging the runaway leaders, Chelsea? And how can Brighton turn around their abysmal recent form?
