It’s the best ever run unbeaten against promoted clubs in WSL history. The second longest is Manchester City, who strung together 21 wins in a row between 2015 and 2021, and actually inflicted our only loss against a promoted club back in May 2014.

Across our current 27-match run, no-one has featured in more games than Leah Williamson, with four current Gunners inside our top five. One of those is Beth Mead who leads the way alongside Danielle van de Donk for most goals netted in this run, with 11 apiece:
