The WSL is back after the international break. The action begins with Man Utd vs Liverpool. It's always a big occasion when these meet. The match is on Sky Sports in the UK, ESPN+ in the US and Optus in Australia. However, if you're in New Zealand, you can watch the game for free on YouTube. Kiwis abroad can use a VPN to access the service as if they were at home. Their title rivals Man City take on Leicester. That is also available for free on YouTube in lots of places around the world, including the UK.
Other free games include Spurs playing Everton. Spurs will be able to welcome back summer signing Maite after injury. Manager Robert Vilahamn said the tricky midfielder is "on another level" and "will play one way or another". Brighton have been one of the teams of the season so far, but they face the ultimate test as they take on Chelsea this weekend. Despite winning every match so far, Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor said her side "can do sometimes better on the ball." That is ominous for the rest of the league. Both those games are FREE on YouTube in many countries. Strugglers West Ham and Crystal Palace face each other in a crucial match available FREE on the BBC iPlayer. Brit abroad?
