All kick-off times listed are BST
Everton v Tottenham Hotspur - Saturday, 12:00 - Sky Sports
Injury-hit Everton welcome Tottenham to Walton Hall Park on Saturday with both sides having struck late on to rescue a point in their previous fixtures.
The teams played out a 1-1 draw the last time they met back in November, and with both currently in a good vein of form, this weekend's encounter promises to be equally close fought.
Brighton & Hove Albion v Aston Villa - Sunday, 14:00 - FA Player
When Brighton travelled to Aston Villa back in December both sides were languishing worryingly close to the relegation zone. A narrow 1-0 win for Carla Ward's side that day moved Villa four points clear of the drop.
This weekend there are no such worries hanging over either side, although both may feel they have a point to prove having each surrendered the lead and ultimately victory in their previous games.
Liverpool v Manchester United - Sunday, 14:00 - FA Player
Liverpool have the opportunity to complete a league double over north-west rivals Manchester United when they meet on Sunday.
Matt Beard's side have been the WSL's surprise package this season, and underlined their already stellar campaign by adding a stunning victory over Chelsea on Wednesday night to prior wins over Arsenal and United.
A second win over Marc Skinner's side on Sunday would put Liverpool in pole position to finish fourth heading into the final weekend.
Having endured a campaign full of ups and downs United are finishing strong with three wins in their last four games across all competitions.
With the FA Cup final on the horizon for the Red Devils they can ill afford another damaging defeat to their local rivals.
Manchester City v Arsenal - Sunday, 14:15 - BBC One and BBC iPlayer
The big game of the weekend comes at Joie Stadium as league leaders Manchester City host third placed Arsenal in a battle at the top.
The gap between City and nearest rivals Chelsea stands at six points, but a victory for Gareth Taylor's side would take them nine points clear before the Blues contest the late kick-off at Bristol.
After dropping points in stoppage time away to Everton last weekend, Arsenal were left trailing the leaders by eight points with just six left to play for, ending their title hopes once and for all. The Gunners can still catch London rivals Chelsea in second.
West Ham United v Leicester City - Sunday, 15:00 - FA Player
West Ham and Leicester City meet at Chigwell Construction Stadium this weekend with little jeopardy on the fixture.
Having battled to snatch a draw in stoppage time at Aston Villa last week, West Ham's safety was secured hours later when Bristol City fell to a 4-0 home defeat to Manchester City.
Opponents Leicester City have endured a difficult campaign on and off the pitch and head into the game on a run of four defeats in their past five games.
With West Ham winless in the league since February and the Foxes on a similar run in all competitions since March, a draw appears the likeliest outcome on Sunday.
Chelsea v Bristol City - Sunday 18:45 - Sky Sports
Chelsea were left reeling on Wednesday night after suffering a stunning late defeat to Liverpool, a result which took the title race out of their hands.
After the loss manager Hayes said that the race was "done".
While mathematically speaking it is not, Chelsea will now have to rely on Manchester City, who are on 14-game winning run in the WSL, to unexpectedly drop points.
A run-in fixture that Chelsea would have earmarked as a chance to add to their own goals tally, a battling Bristol side may well prove a step too far for a depleted and disappointed Chelsea and Hayes.
