Everton Women have emerged as the form side in the Barclays WSL but next go to Manchester United, who hold the joint second-best record from the last four games.

Manchester City have a seven-point lead at the top of the WSL before hosting Spurs on Saturday, while second-placed Chelsea face London City at The Den.

Manchester United are a further point back and host an Everton side on the rise with four straight wins, while Arsenal take on West Ham, who held United to a 0-0 draw in midweek.

Sunday’s fixtures see Brighton play Liverpool and Leicester City – three points adrift at the bottom – entertaining Aston Villa.

Bristol City have only taken a point from their last three matches as they prepare to face Charlton, who lead the WSL 2 table by nine points from Birmingham City, whose visitors Sheffield United are a point ahead of the bottom three.

Crystal Palace are in the play-off position and away in a 5pm kick-off to Newcastle United, just a single point behind them.

Portsmouth sit at the foot of the table and host Sunderland at Fratton Park but are only behind both Ipswich and Durham on goal difference, with the Tractor Girls at Nottingham Forest and the Wildcats at home to Southampton in the early match.
