With only four league games left of the season, Manchester United have the most difficult route to Women's Super League glory starting with facing Carla Ward’s Villa in their home fortress, the Bescot Stadium. A win will see Marc Skinner's side lead the title race and go six points clear of second-place Manchester City, and seven ahead of third-place Chelsea.
With Villa in fifth, it is set to be their most successful season to date, with an un-ignorable Rachel Daly in their ranks. Easily earmarked as the single biggest danger for United’s back line, Daly is the second-highest-scoring player in the league with 15 goals in 18 games (bested by Manchester City’s Khadija Shaw on 17, and United’s Alessia Russo in tow in third place, on nine).
Skinner said: “We know how good Rachel is, I experienced playing against her in the US, she's a wonderful talented player and never stops running, she gives everything.
