The Manchester derby is back—and this time, there’s more than just bragging rights on the line. Manchester United Women host Manchester City Women at Old Trafford on Sunday in a clash that could shape the WSL’s race for European qualification.
United sit third in the table with 13 wins, four draws and three losses from 20 matches, holding a four-point lead over City in fourth. But the gap has narrowed. City picked up a crucial 1-0 win over Leicester last weekend, closing the distance ahead of the final two games.
The Red Devils have also been going through a stuttering phase, claiming only two of their previous five league matches. They followed a defeat to Liverpool with consecutive wins over Aston Villa and Everton, but a disappointing 0-0 draw against West Ham brought them back down to earth.
With both teams battling for a top-three position and a Champions League berth, Sunday’s encounter is as high-stakes as they get.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
