Crystal Palace Women aim to halve the gap on the top two of the Barclays WSL2 as they play their game in hand.

Southampton and Sheffield United start the Easter weekend with a lunchtime kick-off on Friday, with the Saints looking like a third-place finish is beyond them, while the Blades aim for mid-table as they sit four points and three places off the bottom.

Durham are only a single point above the last two and hosting Bristol City, who are five points short of the play-off place with three games to go.

Crystal Palace currently occupy third spot and, while they look to pressure the top two, visitors Ipswich Town sit nervously just goal difference in front of basement side Portsmouth but with two games in had over them.

Newcastle United are three points behind Palace and hosting seventh-placed Nottingham Forest.
