    The Women's Super League resumes on Sunday 2 March, after the international break, for the 15th round of fixtures. Chelsea still lead the way, seven points ahead of Manchester United, with Crystal Palace propping up the table on six points.

    Here are the best of the stats ahead of this weekend:

    • Aston Villa v Everton: The Toffees have failed to win any of their last seven away games in the league (D2, L5).

    • Crystal Palace v Liverpool: The Eagles are still searching for their first home win in the WSL, losing five of their six games with their only point coming in a draw against Everton in November.

    • Tottenham v Manchester City: The visitors are aiming to win back-to-back WSL games for the first time since November.

    • Brighton v Chelsea: The Blues are unbeaten away in the previous six WSL meetings with the Seagulls, conceding only one goal to them in September 2019.

    • Arsenal v West Ham: Renee Slegers' side have won 10 of the 12 WSL battles between the two sides, while the Hammers currently holding the joint-longest winless streak away from home in the WSL.

  2. Gomez has 'something special to offer - Hurzelerpublished at 08:50 27 February

    Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler says Diego Gomez has "something special" to offer his team after impressing on his first Premier League start.

    The 21-year-old was at the heart of the Seagulls' best moves in the first half of Tuesday's win over Bournemouth, playing Kaoru Mitoma through on goal with a fine pass before another fine ball led to Joao Pedro winning the penalty that opened the scoring.

    Gomez arrived from MLS club Inter Miami in January - where he featured alongside former Barcelona stars Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba - but had been limited to just four substitute appearances in the Premier League and one in the FA Cup.

    "I knew what would come because I see him in training every day and every time he went on the pitch as a sub he always had an impact," Hurzeler said.

    "He has a special profile - he's very helpful for our team.

    "He has this passion inside of him, this intensity. He defends forward - he plays forward and that's something special."

    It was the first time Brighton had won four consecutive Premier League games and moved firmly into contention for European qualification. However, Hurzeler only has his attention on the next game.

    "I am not a big fan to emphasise one victory too much or to emphasise one loss to much," he added.

    "We have to focus on the present. We have to understand why we are now in this situation, what makes us strong as a team, what makes us strong as individuals and that's what has to get in our mind."
