Many are talking about tomorrow’s Premier League title race, but the WSL is even tighter, with Manchester City and Chelsea in the mix.

the two are level on points and close on goal difference with just one game remaining.

Therefore, a win for either team – away to Manchester United and Aston Villa respectively – can still see the title change based on goals scored.

This is Emma Hayes’ last weekend match in England before taking over as USA Women’s coach and she is aiming to win a trophy after missing out on three so far this campaign.

WSL table as is

Position	Team	played	puncture	G.D
1	Chelsea	21	52	47
2	the city of Manchester	21	52	45

As such

Last day’s games

(All matches are on Saturday at 18:00 BST)

Manchester United vs Chelsea – Old Trafford
Leicester City vs Liverpool – King Power Stadium
Bristol City vs Everton – Ashton Gate
Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Aston Villa vs Manchester City – Villa Park
Arsenal vs Brighton and Hove Albion – Meadow Park

Title race permutations

Chelsea lead Manchester on goal difference by two goals so if Chelsea win and keep their GD they will win the league.
If the two teams are level on points and goal difference comes to the end of today’s games, the title will be decided on the basis of goals scored – Chelsea (65) lead this statistic by six (City have scored 59 goals).
If Chelsea draw and the Mancunians win, Manchester City will win the WSL title
If Chelsea lose, Manchester City need a point to claim the title
