‘Talk way too much!’ - Lionesses star Leah Williamson explains why defensive partnership with Steph Catley at WSL side Arsenal has become so formidable

WSL Cup

Brighton & Hove Albion Women

Arsenal Women

<p>The Gunners have started the 2024/25 Women's Super League campaign on a solid note as they find themselves on the league table after 10 rounds of games. They have conceded only five goals thus far, the second-lowest in the league after Manchester United, kept seven clean sheets and have lost just one game. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Much of Arsenal's stellar defensive performance this season is being credited to the formidable partnership of Williamson and Catley at the heart of their backline. England international Williamson has now revealed how she has formed this successful defensive pair with the Matildas star. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMk6bcKNd/" target="_blank"><em>DAZN</em></a>, the 27-year-old said: "I think it’s been great. I suppose we’ve both been around for a while now, so we just play to each other’s strengths. Steph’s a solid player; it’s nice whenever you play next to a centre-back that can cover you as well. It allows you to be front-footed and play like that, so it’s been good. </p><p>"We actually have a joke about our communication because we talk to each other way too much. But like I say, Steph’s an unbelievable player, she’s made my life easy."</p>

WHAT LEAH WILLIAMSON SAID

<p>The Gunners are currently enjoying the winter break and will be back in action on January 19 as they take on Crystal Palace in a WSL clash. </p>
