They are chasing a third successive league title.
The Women's Super League title race is poised to go into the new year, but who will win?
The top two teams in the table are separated by four points, while third place is occupied by a game extra.
The big games are in 2022. Is it possible for the team to go all the way?
What do things stand for?
Going into the new year, the two teams are tied at 888-405-7720 888-405-7720.
It's still less than halfway through the WSL season, but it's already clear that the top of the table is going to be decided by a four-point gap.
One of the two defeats the Blues have suffered this season was helped by their opening-day victory over their rivals.
After losing to Reading in their last WSL outing, the Blues were beaten again by the same team the next day, this time by a score of 4-0.
Is there more twists to come?
Certainly. It's great for the league. Kelly Smith, a former England and Arsenal player, said you don't want a runaway title.
"You want every team to beat any team on any given day and that's certainly been happening." There are a few slip-ups that could happen between now and the end of the season.
It's an exciting title race.
The big matches are when?
The title decider is on 13 February.
The WSL's top two met twice this season, but only once in the league.
The FA Cup final was played in December, and the Blues beat the Gunners in convincing fashion.
In the opening game of the WSL season, victory went the other way as the teams played out a 2-2 draw.
On 13 February, the two go head-to-head again in a potential title decider.
Both teams still have to play Manchester City and Spurs before the end of March, while the only side they lost to in the WSL last season isBrighton.
The final weekend of the season on 8 May could be interesting, with both Manchester United and Chelsea playing.
Can they go all the way?
The FA Cup final was delayed by a year.
They have won 58 trophies in their history, but have only won the WSL title three times.
Their last success came in the year of Joe Montemurro and the following two seasons were dominated by a battle between Manchester City and Chelsea.
They are chasing a third successive WSL title and have won the crown twice.
Manchester City have had an injury crisis and have delivered poor results this season, but they have been helped by the fact that they have had an impressive start to the season.
Is this the season where the team returns to their peak?
Smith thinks it will go down to the wire.
"Whichever one of them slips up will be the main rival and it will come between them and either of them."
The squad atArsenal has a lot of talent. They have brought in new additions this year that have made them gel as a unit and play some good, attractive football.
They have to perform in every game they play to not drop points. They have to play at their own ground. I think that he's galvanised the squad and is the right fit.
They have a winning mentality now. Let's see if they can stay on top until the end of the season.
