The evening’s action brings a Manchester derby at 6pm, with Manchester United hoping to halt City’s perfect start to the WSL campaign.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some Women’s Super League odds and betting angles for Sunday’s fixtures:

Crystal Palace v Chelsea – Sunday, 12pm

Crystal Palace have collected six points from their opening six WSL fixtures, although their recent form has been disappointing. The Eagles suffered a 1-0 home defeat against West Ham last weekend, having previously drawn 1-1 with Aston Villa. Palace have also struggled against Chelsea in recent years, losing all five previous competitive meetings without scoring a single goal.

Chelsea arrive in excellent form, sitting second in the WSL table with 16 points from their opening six matches (W5, D1). The Blues produced an impressive display last weekend, beating Tottenham 6-2 at Stamford Bridge to take their league tally to 18 goals. Chelsea have also scored 11 goals without reply across their two previous WSL meetings with Crystal Palace, making the visitors strong favourites to claim another victory on Sunday.

Birmingham City v Charlton Athletic – Sunday, 2pm

Birmingham City are still searching for their first WSL victory since returning to the top flight, collecting three points from their opening six matches. However, there have been encouraging signs recently, with the Blues holding Arsenal to a 1-1 draw at the Emirates last weekend. That was followed by a convincing 5-0 victory away at Durham in the Players Cup on Wednesday evening, giving the hosts some confidence ahead of this important encounter.

Charlton Athletic have endured a difficult introduction to the Women’s Super League, losing all six of their opening fixtures. Last weekend’s 3-1 home defeat against Manchester United left the Addicks bottom of the table without a point, although they did respond with a 2-0 Players Cup victory over Bristol City in midweek. The visitors will be hoping to carry that improvement into Sunday’s meeting with another promoted side.

Everton v Aston Villa – Sunday, 2pm

Everton have made a decent start to their WSL campaign, collecting nine points from their opening six matches (W3, L3). However, Scott Phelan’s side suffered a 2-1 defeat away at London City Lionesses last weekend, leaving them sixth in the table. The Toffees have enjoyed recent success against Aston Villa, going unbeaten in their last four league meetings (W2, D2), including a 2-1 victory at Goodison Park in February.

Aston Villa finally secured their first WSL victory of the season last weekend, beating Liverpool 2-1 at Villa Park. That result ended their five-match wait for a league win and moved the Villans onto six points from six fixtures. However, recent meetings with Everton have proved difficult, with Villa failing to win any of their last four encounters. The visitors will be hoping last weekend’s success can provide a turning point in their campaign.

Liverpool v London City Lionesses – Sunday, 2pm

Think there’s value? See the current price at William Hill

Liverpool have struggled for consistency this season, collecting seven points from their opening six WSL fixtures. The Reds have now suffered back-to-back league defeats, losing 1-0 against Manchester United before last weekend’s 2-1 setback at Aston Villa. Their midweek 5-3 Players Cup defeat against United only added to their frustrations. Liverpool also failed to score in either league meeting with London City Lionesses last season.

London City Lionesses have been one of the standout sides in the WSL this season, winning five of their opening six matches to move into third place. Their impressive 6-1 victory away at Tottenham was followed by a 2-1 success over Everton last weekend, taking their league tally to 17 goals. The visitors also beat West Ham 2-1 in the Players Cup on Wednesday and will be confident of extending their winning run against Liverpool.

Manchester United v Manchester City – Sunday, 6pm

Manchester United have responded well to their difficult start to the season, winning their last three WSL fixtures to climb to fifth in the table. Eva Olid’s side followed their 3-1 victory at Charlton last weekend with a 5-3 Players Cup success away at Liverpool on Wednesday. However, United lost both league meetings with Manchester City last season by 3-0 scorelines, so Sunday’s derby represents another tough test.

Manchester City have made a perfect start to their WSL title defence, winning all six league matches to sit two points clear of Chelsea at the top. The visitors have scored 19 goals in those six fixtures, including three in last weekend’s narrow 3-2 victory over Brighton. Bunny Shaw scored twice in that encounter and has now scored seven league goals this season. City will be hoping to maintain their 100% record and complete another victory over their Manchester rivals.
