Chelsea again kick off the weekend’s Barclays Women’s Super League action, this time away to newcomers Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The Eagles’ Katie Stengel featured for Liverpool when they defeated Chelsea 2-1 at the start of the 2022-23 season, winning one penalty and converting two.

Palace were beaten 4-0 by Spurs on their WSL debut, while Chelsea began with a narrow win over Aston Villa, who host Tottenham at Villa Park in Sunday’s last match.

After their draw at the Emirates, Manchester City are home to Brighton who beat Everton 4-0, while Arsenal head to Leicester.

The Foxes opened with a point at Liverpool, who head to West Ham. Manchester United were 3-0 winners over the Hammers and next entertain Everton who went down 4-0 at Brighton.

Charlton lead the Championship table with three wins from three and visit Blackburn, who pulled off a fine win at Southampton last week.

Birmingham and London City are both a couple of points behind the Addicks, with City at Durham and the Lionesses travelling to Sunderland.

Portsmouth play Newcastle in a clash of the promoted sides, while Southampton go up against Sheffield United.
