WSL final day: What is still to play for?

Arsenal and Manchester United have already secured their places in the WSL’s top three alongside Chelsea, but who finishes where is still to be decided.

Renee Slegers’ side host United at Emirates Stadium on Saturday in a match you can watch live on BBC Two from 12:15 BST.

The Gunners head into the game on the back of two successive defeats in which they conceded nine goals, but face a United side who must win to leapfrog them in the table.

The final standings will determine which round of qualifying the teams enter for next season’s revamped Champions League.

As champions, Chelsea automatically qualify for the new league phase, which will start in October and feature 18 teams, replacing the old group stages.

Whoever finishes second in the WSL will enter in September’s final qualifying round, while the third-placed team must go into the second round of qualifying in August.

However, Arsenal will still have a chance to qualify automatically for the league phase – if they beat Barcelona in the Champions League final on 24 May.
