England
Women’s Super League
Everton host Crystal Palace on Sunday, 1am AEDT. After Palace’s win last week, the game takes on extra meaning as another three points here could catapult them out of the relegation zone. Everton will be hoping for the win themselves to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle. Clare Wheeler will be available for the Toffees.
Arsenal take on Liverpool on Sunday, 4.30am AEDT. The game is an opportunity for Arsenal to enact some revenge after Liverpool knocked them out of the FA Cup, but it won’t be easy backing up after a disappointing UWCL trip to Real Madrid. Caitlin Foord, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Steph Catley will be available for the Gunners, while Teagan Micah could line up in goals for Liverpool.
West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur face off on Sunday, 11pm AEDT. Both teams are hoping to find ways to escape the lower-mid-table pack and finish the season on a high. Katrina Gorry will be available for the Hammers while Clare Hunt, Charli Grant and Hayley Raso will all be available for Spurs.
Manchester City and Chelsea meet each other for the third time in a row – with the second leg of their UWCL tie looming as the fourth – on Monday, 1.30am AEDT. At the moment honours lie one apiece as Chelsea lifted the League Cup trophy, but City took a two-goal advantage from the first leg of the UWCL quarter-final. Mary Fowler will be available for City while Sam Kerr remains unavailable for Chelsea.
Leicester City take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday, 2am AEDT. Brighton secured a vital victory last week and will be hoping to take that form into a late push for the top four, while the Foxes will be focused on any points they can get – they are now only three points away from the relegation zone. Courtney Nevin will be available for Leicester.
The final game of the round is Aston Villa facing Manchester United on Monday, 3.30am AEDT. Villa are the team in most danger of being caught by Crystal Palace, but it would take a massive upset for them to get anything out of this game.

Birmingham City travel to take on Charlton on Monday, 1am AEDT in what could be a decisive match in the title race.

A win for Birmingham will keep their noses in front at the top for another week. Emily van Egmond will be available for Birmingham.

AIK Fotboll take on Linköping on Sunday, 1am AEDT.
