Since action resumed on Saturday, 10 January, it has been a hectic period. Four rounds of WSL action, FA Cup fourth round, League Cup semi-finals, the return of the Champions League and Arsenal competing in the inaugural Fifa Champions Cup have all been squeezed into a packed schedule. It's an entirely different scenario for Manchester United though, who have played the most games to date (30). This week, they will play Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Thursday (20:00 GMT), and then take on Chelsea next Sunday in the FA Cup fifth round (13:30 GMT) before they return to WSL action in mid March. Such discrepancy in fixtures will be impacted next season as the Women's Super League expands from 12 to 14, although it may just mean more games all round.
