Doubt crept in at Chelsea last season when they lost their Women's Super League crown - but early signs in this campaign suggest they have regained their spark

A crucial 1-0 victory over rivals Arsenal on Sunday meant they extended their WSL unbeaten run to 12 games and sit just two points off leaders Manchester City

They showed a different side - one that was willing to dig deep, control the game without the ball and defend with composure while Arsenal put pressure on

It may have been the missing ingredient as Chelsea look revitalised and refreshed

Could they win the WSL title this year? It would be foolish to say they can't
