WOMEN’S FOOTBALL – SATURDAY FIXTURES
WSL fixtures Saturday 20/04
| WSL fixtures this Saturday | Kick-off | Where to watch? |
|---|---|---|
| Bristol City vs Liverpool | 12:30 | The FA Player |
League strugglers Bristol City will welcome Liverpool on Saturday. It looks set that Bristol will be relegated – with only a handful of games left, it’ll be impossible for them to climb out of the drop. They currently sit with just 6 points and have lost their last 5 matches.

|---|---|---|
| Barcelona Femenino vs Chelsea | 12:30 | DAZN 1, TNT Sports 2 |
| Lyon Féminines vs Paris Saint-Germain Féminines | 20:00 | DAZN 1, TNT Sports 3 |
The first leg of the semi-finals kicks off, with the only English club left in the competition heading to Spain to face the current holders. It’s the only trophy Emma Hayes’s Blues have not yet secured – and after a rocky few weeks – (including losing the Conti Cup final to Arsenal) all focus will be back on European glory and retaining their WSL title.
Barcelona will head to Chelsea for the second leg on the 27th of April – where they’ll play in front of more than 20,000 at Stamford Bridge.
WOMEN’S FOOTBALL – SUNDAY FIXTURES
WSL fixtures on Sunday 21/04
| WSL fixtures this Sunday | Kick-off | Where to watch? |
|---|---|---|
| Man Utd vs Tottenham | 12:00 | The FA Player |
| Arsenal vs Leicester | 14:00 | The FA Player |
| Man City vs West Ham | 14:15 | BBC iPlayer, BBC Red Button, BBC Sport Website |
A win for Manchester City will see them return to the top of the table – they’re currently in second place on goal difference alone. City will be aware of Chelsea’s two-goal difference and will want to close the gap, so we expect City will be aiming for goals galore on Sunday.
Arsenal cannot afford to slip up again, they’re in third and 6 points off the top. Every game is now a must-win for the Gunners if they have any hope of winning the title (and they’ll have to hope City and Chelsea slip up). They’ve also got a much smaller goal difference so they need to make their matches count and try to close that gap.
Manchester United will welcome Spurs to the North. It’ll be an interesting preview into this season’s FA Cup final – where United and Spurs will face off at Wembley.
