Manchester United host Manchester City at Old Trafford on Saturday in a fixture carrying significant implications for the Women's Super League table. City currently lead the league standings, while United remain in contention for a top-three finish to secure Champions League qualification, according to Sky Sports. The hosts previously drew 1-1 with City in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
United manager Marc Skinner confirmed that midfielder Hinata Miyazawa remains unavailable due to a long-term injury, per The Guardian. City travel to Old Trafford without injured defender Alex Greenwood, who withdrew from the England squad earlier this month. The visitors have won 10 consecutive league matches entering this weekend.
Ticket sales for the match have exceeded 40,000, as reported by Manchester United. This encounter marks the third time the women's derby has taken place at Old Trafford. City striker Bunny Shaw leads the Golden Boot race with 17 goals before the weekend fixtures commence, according to the Women's Super League.
