This week in Women's Football: FA Women's Super League, Primera División Femenina, Serie A (women), and more

This week is set to be yet another exciting one for fans of women's football as it begins on Thursday with an intriguing London Derby clash featuring Chelsea and West Ham in the FA Women's League Cup. Later in the day (or in the wee hours of the morning, depending on where you are based), there will also be a trio of matches from the Liga MX Femenil, starting with struggling Necaxa facing Querétaro.

Here's all you need to know ahead of the upcoming week in the world of women's football.

FA Women's Super League

Curiously enough, there will be two Arsenal vs. Manchester City matches played over the course of the next seven days. No, we are not talking about the top of the table mouthwatering clash featuring Mikel Arteta's Gunners, who presently are the league leaders, taking on Pep Guardiola's Cityzens, who are the reigning Premier League champions sitting five points back.

But rather, another Arsenal-Manchester City tie will be unfolding in the FA Women's Super League. And like the huge one on Wednesday, the upcoming showdown on Saturday, February 11th, between Jonas Eidevall and Gareth Taylor, managers of Arsenal and Manchester City respectively, will be equally exciting for followers of the women's game. That's because the two teams are joint-tied on 26 points each, and sit in third and fourth spot respectively, meaning that whoever wins could put some serious pressure on league leaders Chelsea, who are not in action this weekend due to their involvement in the aforementioned FA Women's League Cup.

Another match that many will be watching closely is Tottenham vs. Manchester United, as it could change the dynamic in the title race. At the moment, Manchester United, who will be the visiting team on Sunday, February 12th, are in second spot, just two points behind Chelsea. As such, the Red Devils could leap-frog the Blues into top spot should they get the job done against Rehanne Skinner's squad.

Here is the full schedule of matches being played over the weekend in the FA Women's Super League.

Primera División Femenina

Moving on to Spain, league leaders Barcelona will look to put some distance between themselves and the chasing pack when they travel to face floundering Deportivo Alavés on February 11th. The Blaugrana clinched the league title last term, and now boast a five point lead at the table's summit. So far, things  have gone very smoothly for Jonatan Giráldez's team, who have won all 18 of their league fixtures, while outscoring their opponents by a whopping 80 - yes, that's 80 - to four. It's safe to say that their upcoming hosts Deportivo will be in for a long afternoon as they have won just three times all season and are presently on a four-game losing streak.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid, who are hoping to win what would be their first ever league title this season are five points behind Barcelona. Las Blancas finished third last time out and are currently on a ten game losing streak; their sole defeat this term was a heavy 4-0 mauling by Barcelona back in November. They will host Sporting de Huelva, who have picked up just one point from their last five games and sit in 11th place on Sunday, February 12th, as this weekend's round of matches comes to a close.

Elsewhere, third-placed Levante, who have won their last five on the spin, will face newly promoted Levante Las Planas to kick off this round. The visiting side, who are coached by Natalia Astráin, secured progression by topping the second tier, but have found things quite difficult with ten defeats so far this season. That being said, they are in a slightly better spot than teams like Deportivo, albeit not by much - as they are just three points away from the drop zone.

Here is the full schedule of ties taking place in the Primera División Femenina this weekend.

Serie A (women)

In Italy, league leaders Roma will look to continue their march towards what would be a first Scudetto when they face Inter on Saturday. The Giallorosse, who finished second last season, are currently a very comfortable eight points clear at the top of the table. However, given how Juventus have won the last five titles in a row, it is safe to assume that Roma will not be content to rest on their laurels. As for the Nerazzurre, they are in solid form, with four wins from their last five and come into their upcoming contest sitting in fourth spot.

Depending on the outcome from the Roma vs. Inter match, there could be some major shake-ups in the league standings, especially as Fiorentina and Juventus will be going head to head earlier on Saturday. The Viola and the Bianconere are tied on 34 points, albeit it's Juventus who sit in second place thanks to their vastly superior goal difference. This game will be especially interesting as Fiorentina and Juventus are the last teams to win the league title in Italy over the last six years (one for Fiorentina, five for Juventus). More important, with Inter lurking behind hoping to move into second, neither team will be keen on dropping points as they look to close the gap on Roma.

Here is the full schedule of games happening in Serie A women this upcoming weekend.
