Liverpool Women

Having picked up 32 points from 19 matches, Liverpool are already guaranteed to better last season's seventh-placed finish.

The Reds recorded a narrow 1-0 win in their most recent outing against basement side Bristol City thanks to Marie Hobinger's 15th-minute effort.

Although they have already made progress this term, Liverpool could still improve upon their current position, with just three points separating them from fourth-placed Manchester United.

Matt Beard's side are currently experiencing an underwhelming run of home form, having seen their last five home league games produce one win, two draws and two defeats.

However, they will have fond memories of their most recent home meeting with Chelsea in September 2022 when they came from a goal down to clinch a 2-1 victory.

Chelsea Women

Chelsea boss Emma Hayes will have to pick her side up following their Champions League semi-final exit at the hands of Barcelona.

The Blues went into Saturday's home leg with a narrow 1-0 advantage and dreaming of a second appearance in a European final.

However, Chelsea saw their lead wiped out by Aitana Bonmati, before a Kadiesha Buchanan red card and a Fridolina Rolfo penalty turned the tie in Barcelona's favour.

The West London club have ultimately seen their hopes of winning the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League quashed in three of their last five matches, leaving them with just the WSL title to play for in Hayes's final season in charge.

Chelsea are may be sitting six points adrift of Man City, but they can move level on points with the Citizens if they win both of their games in hand.

The Blues will be looking to complete a league double over Liverpool after producing a free-scoring display to ease to a 5-1 victory in November's fixture.
