Read our preview of the action below.
England
WSL
It’s a round of huge derbies in the WSL.
Everton take on Liverpool on Saturday, 11pm AEDT in a Merseyside Derby. Both teams have secured enough points that they will feel safer from relegation than other times in the season, but will still be highly motivated to finish strong. Clare Wheeler will be available for Everton.
Manchester City could take a massive step towards securing the title with victory over rivals Manchester United on Sunday, 12.30am AEDT. City are currently eight points clear on top of the table with four games remaining. Mary Fowler will be available for Manchester City after playing significant minutes at the Asian Cup.
Arsenal will be looking for a result to put them back in the top three against North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, 4.30am AEDT. Steph Catley, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Caitlin Foord will all be available for Spurs, while Charli Grant has recently returned from injury for Spurs. Clare Hunt is unavailable for Tottenham due to recent knee surgery.
West Ham and London City Lionesses face off on Sunday, 10pm AEDT. The Hammers are only three points clear of relegation and will take any point they can to try and push themselves to safety. Katrina Gorry will be available for the Hammers, while Asian Cup MVP Alanna Kennedy will be available for the Lionesses.
Chelsea hosts Aston Villa on Sunday, 10pm AEDT. The Blues must win and rely on results elsewhere to stay in the title hunt. Sam Kerr and Ellie Carpenter will be available for Chelsea.
Finally, Leicester City take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday, 1am AEDT. The Foxes are at the bottom of the table and have real relegation concerns – three points would do much to elevate them. Emily van Egmond will be available for Leicester, while Charlie Rule will likely line up opposite her for Brighton.

WSL2
Newcastle take on Sunderland on Monday, 12am AEDT. With four games remaining, the Magpies are four points away from automatic promotion, and only one point behind Crystal Palace in the race for the promotion playoff spot. Only wins will do as they chase their dream of the WSL next season. Kaitlyn Torpey will be available for Newcastle after impressing at the Asian Cup.
