"With the WSL expanding from 12 to 14 teams next year, the top two in WSL 2 will be automatically promoted and the side in third will host whoever finishes bottom of the top division. It will be the first such fixture in the English women's game and will be shown live on BBC Two and Sky Sports."
"The race for promotion in the WSL 2 is shaping up for an exciting finish with six teams in the mix. Charlton have a nine-point lead over Birmingham, with Crystal Palace, Bristol City, Newcastle and Southampton all challenging."
"The WSL have also announced the six games on this season's final day will kick-off at 13:00 GMT on Saturday, 16 May to avoid a clash with the men's FA Cup final. While timings for the men's flagship event are yet to be announced, last season's match between Crystal Palace and Manchester City at Wembley began at 16:30 BST."
