TV scheduling means both Manchester City and Manchester United have seen changes to their Women's Super League fixtures in Februrary.
The two sides go into the new year with their eyes firmly trained on the WSL title; third-placed United five points off league leaders Chelsea with a game in hand and City just three points behind their local rivals in fourth. Earlier this month, the sides played out a thrilling draw in the Manchester derby, with a club-record 44,259 fans packing into the EtIhad for the final WSL clash of the year.
While both clubs will hope to see attendance figures continue to rise when the WSL returns in January, fans unable to make it to the ground will now be able to tune in to a host of league matches from home. On Tuesday, the Football Association confirmed that Sky Sports and BBC Sport have made their broadcast selections for February, with five games selected across the month - three of which involve Manchester clubs.
