Second-placed Arsenal go to Spurs for the North London derby, where World Cup winning coach Jill Ellis will be making a special appearance at half-time to talk about the growth of the women’s game.
She told tottenhamhotspur.com: “After the energy of this past summer, it is fantastic to see Women’s football being played on the biggest stage at the world-class Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. I was delighted to be invited back and I’m excited to watch Spurs Women in the north London derby this weekend.”
Unbeaten league leaders Chelsea host Manchester United, third-placed Manchester City – who have only conceded once in five games – welcome West Ham.
Reading face a still winless Bristol City, like the Vixens Brighton only have two points ahead of their home game against Birmingham City, while basement side Liverpool will be anxious to add to their single point in the Merseyside derby with Everton.
FA WC leaders Aston Villa have not yet been beaten but have a local derby at Coventry United who are still chasing a first ever win at this level, second-placed London City Lionesses also meet nearby opposition when making the short trip to take on Crystal Palace.
Sheffield United in third are at mid-table Lewes, it’s fourth versus fifth as Durham play London Bees and Charlton Athletic hope to improve on just two goals from five matches when entertaining a Leicester City side that has let in over three a game on average.
