The second Manchester Derby of the season falls on the penultimate game in the Women’s Super League. As if a local rivalry isn’t enough, both sides are grappling for points vital to their domestic success. United are brawling for points in the title race, while City are going toe-to-toe to lay claim to a Champions League qualification spot.
Last time out saw a 1-1 draw at the Etihad in front of 44,000 who saw Laura Coombs’ header bring the game back on level terms after Leah Galton's first-half goal had given put United ahead.
“I was absolutely gutted that we didn't beat United and we had so many fans there and I felt like we weren't our best version of ourselves in the first half. It was just a bit heart-wrenching to not be able to get over the line,” City's Esme Morgan told MEN Sport.
