Of course both clubs will be targeting a win this weekend.

But what makes the permutations easier for fans to follow and makes the race even tastier is they will play each other on the final day.

Whoever wins the game will win promotion. If the game ends in a draw the Lionesses will be promoted.

It's a thrilling way to end the Championship season and it was set up as both clubs drew their penultimate games of the season. In FourFourTwo's view London City Lionesses will win promotion.

For Birmingham City, if they need any added motivation then their defender Louise Quinn has given them it.

The Republic of Ireland international has announced she will retire at the end of the season.

She has not played since October because of a hip injury but they will want to send the legend of the game off with a trophy.
