Two huge derby matches and a meeting of English football giants are headlining Women's Football Weekend

The event sees the women's club game become the focal point of the domestic football schedule in England during the international break in the men's game. 

Birmingham City v Aston Villa

Aston Villa and Birmingham City Women continue their league campaign as they face each other in the Second City derby.

The match gives Villa an opportunity to open up a 10-point gap between themselves and 12th-placed Leicester City, a gap which would go a long way to seeing them secure Women's Super League status so early on in the season.

Everton v Manchester United

Manchester United Women make the short trip to Everton. They are unbeaten in their last three WSL games. In October, they beat Birmingham 2-0 at St. Andrew’s before drawing with rivals Manchester City 2-2 at Leigh Sports Village. 

A cruel injury-time equaliser cost them two points in our last fixture, against Spurs last weekend, but defeat was still avoided as the sides drew 1-1. United are currently fifth in the WSL table with 11 points from their first six league matches.

The history of Women's football

Manchester City v Chelsea

Manchester City are likely to be without Khadija Shaw. The striker has missed the last two games with a foot injury, having been brought off at half-time of the last Chelsea visit to the Academy Stadium a fortnight ago.

Previewing this weekend’s crunch clash, Head Coach Gareth Taylor confirmed that they no new injury concerns but admitted Shaw may not be ready for a return

Tottenham v Arsenal

 After six matches, Spurs side sit third in the table with four wins and 13 points, with their only loss being to  Brighton & Hove Albion. Along the way they’ve picked up one major, if fortunate, win away at last season’s runners-up Manchester City. 

Compare that to last season’s campaign, which saw them pick up a total of 20 points from 22 matches, and this is looking like it could be a breakthrough season for Tottenham. See the Women's Super League Twitter feed for all the latest news from this game and more.

Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches.

However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
