FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup quarter-finalists to be confirmed after final group games this midweek, while Chelsea are in Champions League action.
Aston Villa have won all their three Group A games to date and a draw at Sunderland will see them finish top, while the Black Cats need all three points to leapfrog their visitors into first place.
There’s also a two-point gap between Group B’s leading pair, Manchester United with a perfect record ahead of their derby clash at Manchester City. A draw will suit United, City need the win to take the group, while Leicester City trail the latter by two points ahead of hosting Everton.
There is just a couple of points between the top and bottom of four-team Group C, as London City Lionesses face leaders Crystal Palace with only goal-difference separating them. Watford welcome Lewes, with both needing a victory to effect the leadership.
Group D leaders Arsenal are a point in front of Tottenham and away to Reading, before third-placed Southampton meet Spurs at Eastleigh on Thursday.
Brighton are top of Group E, three points better off than both Charlton and West Ham, with Albion away to the Addicks and the Hammers travelling to Birmingham City.
Group winners progress to the quarter-finals, along with the two best second-place teams to be calculated by their Points Per Game average.
