Crystal Palace were promoted to replace Bristol City in the top flight, while on a wider note, the league is now under the management and operation of a new organisation set up to lead women's football towards further growth and progression, with Nikki Doucet overseeing both the WSL and Championship in a new phase for the game.

West Ham United and Crystal Palace both get a chance with a Saturday matchup in London to close the gap with the current top eight sides in the English Premier League.

Crystal Palace have gone seven consecutive away games without losing for the first time in their top-flight history (W4 D3). They've also kept a clean sheet in each of the past three, equalling their longest run without conceding away from home in the Premier League (a run of three in December 2017).
