The Women's Super League returns this weekend with an FA Cup final dress rehearsal and games which could have significant impact at both end of the table.

Manchester City look to continue their title charge at home to West Ham, which you can watch live on BBC Red Button and iPlayer, while Wembley-bound Manchester United and Tottenham go head-to-head at Leigh Sports Village.

City can go top with Chelsea out of league action as Emma Hayes' side travel to Barcelona for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final - match that you can listen to live on BBC Radio 5 Live.

Elsewhere, Arsenal take on Leicester City as they look to close the gap on the top two.

Bottom side Bristol City lost 1-0 to Liverpool on Saturday, while Everton beat Brighton 2-1 on Friday.

Here is how you can tune in to the rest of the action this weekend.

After historic wins for both sides in the FA Cup last weekend, Sunday's league encounter now takes on the extra significance of being a dress rehearsal for the FA Cup final at Wembley.

A win for Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village would complete a league double over Tottenham this season, and underline their status as cup final favourites.

After Tottenham's semi-final success last weekend, boss Robert Vilahamn said they had shown their potential to be "a big team." Sunday's game offers a chance to put down a marker before Wembley.

Arsenal's title hopes have all but gone - they sit six points behind frontrunners Manchester City and Chelsea with four games left.

But a victory at home to Leicester City - or anything but a win for Manchester United at home to Spurs - would secure Champions League football for the Gunners for next season.

Leicester return to WSL action after a last gasp extra-time defeat by Tottenham in the FA Cup semi-finals last weekend.

With little but pride left to play for, the Foxes will be aiming to end a run of five games without a league win when they travel to a packed-out Emirates Stadium.

Manchester City return to action this weekend on a 12-match winning streak in the WSL, having taken control of the title race from reigning champions Chelsea.

With Emma Hayes' side in European action this weekend, City have another golden chance to put points on the board before their title rivals next play in the league.

Having toyed with relegation for the majority of the season, Rehanne Skinner's West Ham side are underdogs for the game at Joie Stadium.

While a point in their last league game against Brighton seemed to all but confirm the side's top-flight status, an unlikely win for the Hammers this weekend would put it beyond doubt.

Out of the FA Cup after semi-final defeat by Manchester United last Sunday, Chelsea head to Catalunya on Saturday for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final with just two trophies left to fight for.

Standing in their way? European champions Barcelona. Chelsea have never beaten them.

The Blaugrana have proved the scourge of the Blues' European dreams more than once, most notably handing Emma Hayes' side a 4-0 thrashing in the 2021 final in Gothenburg.

Can Chelsea take a big first step this weekend towards the one trophy that has always eluded them?
