The WSL returns this weekend for the first time after the winter break, with a Manchester Derby on the cards.
Meanwhile, Lyon will have little time to think about their shock cup loss, taking on PSG in a vital game for the title race on Sunday.
Read our preview of the Matildas Abroad action below.
England
Liverpool host Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, 6am AEDT. Brighton were the surprise package of the first half of the season and will be favourites heading into the game, but will have to be mindful of a dangerous Liverpool side. Teagan Micah will be available in goals for the Reds.
Everton take on Aston Villa on Sunday, 4.30am AEDT. Both teams are on nine points after ten games and a win for either could separate them from the lower mid-table pack. Clare Wheeler will be available for Everton.
Tottenham Hotspur host relegation-threatened Leicester City on Sunday, 11.30pm AEDT. Leicester are only one point away from the relegation zone while Spurs are sitting in sixth, the “best of the rest” behind Brighton. Charli Grant, Clare Hunt and Hayley Raso will be available for Spurs while Courtney Nevin will be available for Leicester.
Arsenal clash with bottom-of-the-table Crystal Palace on Monday, 1am AEDT. The Gunners will be hoping for a positive start to 2025 to help them close the enormous seven-point gap between them and Chelsea on top. Kyra Cooney-Cross, Caitlin Foord and Steph Catley will be available for Arsenal.
West Ham take on undefeated Chelsea in a London Derby on Monday, 2am AEDT. Any point for West Ham would be an achievement against a Chelsea team who have only dropped points once all season. Katrina Gorry will be available for West Ham, while Sam Kerr is unavailable for Chelsea as she continues her recovery from her ACL injury.
The round concludes with a massive Manchester Derby as Manchester City and Manchester United face off on Monday, 5.45am AEDT. Only one point separates them in second and fourth and a win for either would be a substantial six-point result when it comes to qualification for European places. Mary Fowler and Alanna Kennedy will be available for City.

France
Lyon travel to Paris to take on PSG on Sunday, 7am AEDT. PSG are five points behind Lyon, but the French champions showed their vulnerabilities in the cup last week, sensationally knocked out on penalties by Reims. PSG will hope to capitalise on the weekend and give themselves a chance in the title race. Ellie Carpenter will be available for Lyon.
Netherlands
Daniela Galic's FC Twente take on Fortuna Sittard on Saturday morning at 2:30am AEDT as the sides return from the winter break. Twente finished the year off with a 2-1 victory over PEC Zwolle to see them move to 4th on the table, while their opponents have been on the receiving end of back-to-back defeats in the league.
