Love them or hate them, it’s the first fixture you look for when the calendar is released!
City travel to neighbours Manchester United for the first time in the FA Women’s Super League, as the pair lock horns in a 12:30 (UK) kick-off at Leigh Sports VIllage to ignite Women’s Football Weekend in style.
As kick-off edges closer, the excitement builds and to heighten the anticipation further, take a look back at the last time we faced the Reds, emerging victorious in a five-goal thriller in the Women’s FA Cup back in January!

Ellen White was in white-hot form that day, bagging a brace, while Jill Scott netted the winner to spark our Cup journey (en route to lifting the trophy!) and extend our super start to 2020.
Lauren James had halved the deficit midway through the second half and a Lauren Hemp own-goal made for a nervy final few minutes, but Nick Cushing’s side killed the game to restore the local bragging rights in City’s favour.
The Blue half of Manchester hold the bragging rights, having won two of the first three professional encounters between the sides.
What happens on Saturday...? We’ll soon find out!
