Manchester City will be keeping an eye on any potential Chelsea slip-up when they host West Ham at the same time on Saturday, 11pm AEDT.

Mary Fowler remains unavailable for City as she continues her ACL rehabilitation, while Katrina Gorry is expected to line up for West Ham.
Everton travel to play Aston Villa on Sunday, 11pm AEDT. Both sides are searching for their second win of the season and will hope to jump well above any threat of relegation as soon as they can. Clare Wheeler will be available for the Toffees.
Leicester City and Arsenal face off on Sunday, 11pm AEDT. The Gunners have had a shaky start to the season and will look to start righting that wrong after the international break. Emily van Egmond will be available for the Foxes, while Kyra Cooney-Cross, Caitlin Foord and Steph Catley will be available for Arsenal.
Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool finish the round on Sunday, 11pm AEDT. Spurs have had a very positive start to the season and will hope to continue that against a Liverpool side who have still not picked up a point. Clare Hunt and Charli Grant will be available for Spurs.

Sweden
AIK Fotboll take on Vittsjö GIK on Saturday, 11pm AEDT. Both are safe from relegation while not competing for the top three at this stage, so they are playing for pride and searching for combinations for next season. Jada Whyman is nursing a knee injury and is likely not available for AIK, while Daniela Galic is expected to line up for Vittsjö.
Kristianstads DFF host Djurgården on Saturday, 11pm AEDT. Djurgården can cling to a faint hope of a top-three place while Kristianstads will, similar to AIK and Vittsjö, simply look to finish the season well. Amy Sayer and Remy Siemsen will be available for Kristianstads.
Malmö FF hope to keep their title challenge alive against Piteå on Sunday, 11pm AEDT. Malmö are currently third, four points from the top with three games remaining, essentially guaranteeing they will need maximum points if they are to stay in the running. Courtney Nevin will be available for Malmö.
United States
The North Carolina Courage takes on Gotham FC on Monday, 9am AEDT. The Courage will need all three points – and need Racing Louisville to fail to defeat Bay FC – if they are to sneak into the playoffs in eighth. Cortnee Vine will be available for the Courage.
Portland Thorns host Houston Dash at the same time of Monday, 9am AEDT, with the opportunity to finish in the top four. Irrespective of their final position, their clinching of a playoff spot before the international window eases the pressure on this final regular-season fixture. Kaitlyn Torpey and Mackenzie Arnold will be available for the Thorns.
