Things could hardly have gone better for The Blues in Emma Hayes’s last game in charge. They are 4-0 up at halftime against a Red Devils side that has been celebrating their first-ever Women’s FA Cup this week. Even Lionesses Ella Toone and Mary Earps have not been able to make an impact.

The blue half of Manchester are 0-1 up but know they are going to have to score a lot more goals in the second half to have any chance of claiming the trophy. They will have to do this without the league’s top goalscorer and player of the season Khadija "Bunny" Shaw, who is absent through injury. Gareth Taylor's side also have to deal with Rachel Daly, who poses a huge goalscoring threat for the hosts.

Here's how the line up:

Aston Villa vs Man City
Aston Villa:
Leat; Mayling, Patten, Turner, Maritz; Nobbs, Taylor; Lehmann, Dali, Hanson; Daly

Man City: Keating; Casparij, Aleixandri, Kennedy, Greenwood; Coombs (Blindkilde Brown, 14), Park, Hasegawa; Fowler, Kelly, Hemp

Man Utd vs Chelsea
Man Utd:
Earps, Riviere, Le Tissier, Turner, Blundell, Naalsund, Zelem, Toone, Malard, Williams, Garcia

Chelsea: Musovic, Carter, Bright, Bjorn, Charles, Cuthbert, Leupolz, Reiten, Kaneryd, Macario (Marario, 41), Ramirez

It could be a trilling finish to the WSL season and you won't want to miss any of it. Read on to find out how to catch it all.

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the Women's Super League on your usual subscription?

You can still watch the tile race live streams thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to your usual service that's showing the WSL soccer and watch the game.
