Arsenal's Alessia Russo admits title race is 'tough' against Chelsea juggernaut but Lionesses star insists Gunners will keep fighting

Chelsea are on course to grab their eighth Women's Super League title in the 2024/25 season as they are currently enjoying a seven-point lead over Manchester United and 10 points over Arsenal on the league table. Sonia Bompastor's side are yet to lose a game in the league in the current campaign and have 37 points after 13 matches.

Despite the Blues' terrific run of form, Arsenal forward Alessia Russo is not giving up hopes to win the WSL title this season. She claimed that the Gunners are trying their best to give the league leaders a run for money and are hoping to win trophies by the end of the season. The North London side have reached the quarter-final of the Champions League by topping their group and have also progressed to the last-eight stage of the Women's FA Cup.

Speaking to Sky Sports, the Lionesses star said: "I mean it's tough, obviously. We are realistic and we understand that there is a big gap at the top now. But we still pushing. We have a massive end to the season. We are still in the Champions League, we are still in the FA Cup and we are still pushing for the league.

"I think every game matters, from now through to the end of the season. Absolutely, as a club we want to win trophies, as a player I want to win trophies. So we know what we have got left in this season. We're going to be doing everything we can to it."

Renee Slegers' side will be back in action in the WSL on Sunday as they take on arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in a North London derby at home.
