Ahead of the Barclays WSL 2 season conclusion, just a single point separates the top three chasing two automatic promotion places.
First plays second – with over 3,000 tickets sold – as Charlton Athletic lead by one point over visitors Birmingham City, who dramatically missed out on promotion to London City Lionesses this time last season.
Crystal Palace currently occupy the play-off place and entertain newly-relegated Portsmouth, with the Eagles’ goal difference one better than the Addicks’ but seven behind the Blues.
In the Barclays WSL, Manchester United face Brighton on Saturday, aiming to get back into the Champions League spots, but Arsenal have games in hand and Chelsea are four points better off.
The following day, Sonia Bompastor’s side head to Leicester City, whose only hope of survival now lies in the play-off.
Manchester City can’t afford any slip-ups against Liverpool in their title bid, while Tottenham hope to secure fifth spot when playing London City.
The bank holiday weekend fixtures wrap up with Aston Villa hosting West Ham on Monday afternoon.
Arsenal take a 2-1 lead to Lyon on Saturday in the Champions League semi-finals, hoping to set up a chance to retain the trophy against Barcelona or Bayern Munich.
