Arsenal Women are targeting the WSL title this season to end a six-year wait since their last triumph in 2019. Midfielder Mariona Caldentey and defender Lotte Wubben-Moy told Sky Sports the league is their primary focus, with Wubben-Moy stating the squad wants to add to the club's 15 titles. Caldentey acknowledged the increased competition, noting the league improves every year with better teams, players, and facilities.

The Gunners finished four points behind champions Manchester City last season and suffered early exits in the FA Cup and League Cup. A recurring trend of slow starts has cost them previously, and Wubben-Moy is determined to "right the wrongs" of past campaigns. She highlighted the benefit of a six-to-seven-week pre-season under manager Renee Slegers to build cohesion and integrate new signings.

Arsenal completed significant summer business early, bringing in seven players including England midfielder Georgia Stanway, Selina Cerci, Geraldine Reuteler, Ona Batlle, Misa Rodríguez, Lisa Baum, and Isabella Damm. The added squad depth is viewed as crucial for sustaining a title challenge across a demanding fixture list.
