  1. A huge game at either end of the tablepublished at 13:52 British Summer Time 2 May 2021

    Bristol City v Man Utd (14:00 BST)

    Bottom side Bristol City face Manchester United today knowing that victory could transform their season and help them secure WSL survival.

    Matt Beard's side are a point behind second-from-bottom Aston Villa and victory would lift them out of the relegation place heading into the final match of the campaign.

    Meanwhile, United have different aspirations at the other end of the table and if they win today, they can boost their top three aspirations.

    The Reds are three points behind third-placed Arsenal going into today's game but have a significantly worse goal difference.

    The referee blows the whistle for the end of the first half, and it's Arsenal in the driving seat thanks to Katie McCabe's opener.

    Willie Kirk's team talk will be interesting - his side are yet to have a shot and have barely been in the game.

    It's a big second half for the Gunners who are hoping to seal their Champions League place with a win.

  3. A mid-table clash at the Madejskipublished at 13:48 British Summer Time 2 May 2021

    Reading v Brighton (14:00 BST)

    Reading face Brighton today in their final home match of the season and with both sides comfortably in mid-table.

    Seventh-placed Reading sit a place behind Brighton and a win for the Royals would take them above their opponents given their better goal difference.

    Brighton will be hoping to inflict another defeat on Reading, however, with the Royals' most recent win coming in their away victory at Manchester United in February.

    Aston Villa have turned up for the second half well up for this and somehow they're not in front against West Ham.

    Aston Villa 0-0 West Ham

    The first half comes to an end at Villa Park and despite plenty of chances for the visitors, it's still goalless.

    Meanwhile, Aston Villa have plenty to think about.

    Aston Villa 0-0 West Ham

    Frantic stuff on the verge of half-time and West Ham really should be a goal up.

    Aston Villa struggle to clear the ball right in front of their goal and, despite outnumbering the hosts somehow the Hammers can't quite work a shot into an empty goal.

    Maz Pachego somehow strikes high and wide under pressure to put the ball in the net.
