Manchester City and Chelsea meet on Wednesday in a likely Women's Super League title decider.
After FA Cup and international commitments, two sides currently separated by just two points with three games to go are gearing up for an expected winner-takes-all clash at the Academy Stadium in Manchester.
It has been a thrilling, season-long battle at the top and both sides are in blistering form at the business end of term.
Second-placed City head into the crunch fixture having won 12 league games in succession, but Chelsea - still on for the Quadruple - have won six WSL games in a row without conceding a single goal since a defeat to Brighton in February and are unbeaten in 37 league games away from home.
City were dumped out of the FA Women's League Cup the last time these two sides met in any competition back in January, having also lost the Community Shield to Chelsea last August.
The pair's most recent WSL encounter also ended in a similar fashion, with Chelsea securing a 3-1 win in October.
But Gareth Taylor's side are brimming with confidence after thrashing Aston Villa 8-0 in the FA Women's Cup and in-form Chloe Kelly - who scored a hat-trick in that rout - has warned Emma Hayes' players City "are peaking at the right time".
