Manchester City Women will be looking to take a giant step towards their first league title in eight years when they welcome Arsenal Women to the Joie Stadium in the Women's Super League (WSL) on Sunday.
The Citizens are in the box seat to claim their second WSL title after moving six points clear at the top of the WSL table with a 4-0 win over Bristol City last Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, are out of the title race and will head into the weekend in third place, with eight points separating them from Man City after dropping points in the 1-1 draw against Everton last time out.
