Manchester City and Chelsea play the third of four consecutive meetings, Newcastle United have made record ticket sales for their derby game with Sunderland.

Arsenal host a Liverpool side who recently knocked them out of the Adobe Women’s FA Cup, hoping to exact revenge and eat into Chelsea’s eight-point lead at the top.

Saturday’s earlier WSL match sees Everton entertain Crystal Palace, with the Eagles now only bottom a single point.

Also on the same afternoon, Blackburn Rovers are just a point off last place in the Championship ahead of hosting Bristol City, while Southampton play Portsmouth in a south coast derby at St Mary’s.

First up on Sunday at noon West Ham welcome Spurs, then Manchester City clash with Chelsea again after hitting back from last weekend’s Subway League Cup final defeat with a midweek UWCL victory over Sonia Bompastor’s previously unbeaten side.

Leicester City are three points from danger and home t0 Brighton, Aston Villa a single point and better goal-difference above the relegation place when facing Manchester United.

Third takes on first in the Championship as Charlton Athletic go up against Birmingham City, Newcastle United have home advantage at St James’ Park in the Tyne-Wear derby, second-placed London City Lionesses meet basement side Sheffield United.
