Manchester City need to pick up at least a point against Reading in their last WSL match of the season on Sunday to ensure they book their place in the Champions League for the 2022/23 campaign.
Gareth Taylor's side currently occupy the WSL's last European place and sit two points clear of rivals Manchester United travelling to Chelsea, as well as having a superior goal difference.
They face a Reading team who are winless in their last 10 in all competitions, but who could still finish as high as fifth if they take all three points on Sunday.

Reading team news
Emma Harries continues to miss out for Reading after rupturing her posterior cruciate ligaments while on international duty in April.
The game will be captain Tash Harding's last in a Reading shirt, after announcing at the start of the week that she will be departing the club at the end of the season.
Man City team news
A similar squad to the one that beat Birmingham last time out is expected for City, although Vicky Losada and Jess Park could be in contention to return - the former is 'slightly ahead' of the latter in terms of her comeback and is the more likely of the pair to be involved.
Esme Morgan and Steph Houghton remain long-term absentees for City, having been ruled out for the season through injury.
Reading vs Man City predicted lineups
Reading (4-3-3): Moloney; Harding, Cooper, Evans, Woodham; Peplow, Vanhaevermaet, Troelsgaard Nielsen; Rose, Eikeland, Dowie
Man City (4-3-3): Roebuck; Bronze, Kennedy, Greenwood, Stokes; Walsh, Weir, Stanway; Kelly, Shaw, Hemp.
Reading vs Man City prediction
It's the WSL's most out of form team versus the WSL's most in form team on Sunday, with Reading winless since 6 February and City unbeaten since that very same date.
City have won 12 on the bounce in all competitions and scored 21 goals in their last four matches alone. With Gareth Taylor's forward line in flying form, another comprehensive City victory, and therefore third place in the final standings, looks the most likely outcome.
Prediction: Reading 0-4 Man City
