  1. Welcome... finally

    Two postponements in two days mean WSL action gets off to a delayed start in 2022 today.

    And even then, one of today's four games has been called off because of Covid-19 cases.

    Still there is plenty to come, starting with Manchester City's trip to Brighton at 12:00 GMT which you can watch on BBC Red Button, iPlayer and at the top of this page.
