Title Race:: Chelsea are firmly in control, leading by eight points. Opta's prediction model gives them a 99.4% chance of winning their sixth successive title. They could potentially clinch the league as early as April 27th.
Relegation Battle:: The fight for survival is heating up. Newly promoted Crystal Palace sit bottom (9 points), with Opta predicting a 76.8% chance of relegation. Aston Villa are just one point above them (10 points), while Leicester City appear safe (15 points, 0.5% relegation chance).
Man Utd vs Everton:: Manchester United make two enforced changes, with Anna Sandberg replacing the suspended Gabby George and Dominique Janssen coming in for Millie Turner. Everton welcome Clare Wheeler back from illness.
Why this matters:: Today's results could significantly impact both ends of the table. Chelsea look to maintain their dominance, while Palace and Villa desperately need points to avoid the drop.
As the WSL season heads towards its climax, Chelsea's dominance under new manager Sonia Bompastor continues, inheriting the winning legacy left by Emma Hayes. They sit comfortably at the top with 47 points, eight clear of Arsenal and Manchester United (both on 39 points) after 17 games. Manchester City, currently fourth, will look to bounce back against Brighton after a challenging period that saw them lose three out of four recent encounters with Chelsea, including exits from the League Cup and Champions League.
At the bottom, the pressure mounts on Crystal Palace and Aston Villa. Palace, despite a recent win over Villa, face a tough challenge against second-placed Arsenal today. Villa, who were tipped for potential top-four contention 18 months ago, have struggled and face Liverpool in a crucial match.
In the day's early kick-off (12:00 BST, live on BBC iPlayer), Manchester United host Everton at Leigh Sports Village. United are forced into defensive changes, while Everton make just one switch from their last outing. This match, along with the other five fixtures today, will shape the final standings in a league now operating under the new leadership of Nikki Doucet, aimed at fostering further growth in women's football.
