Man City Women vs Manchester United LIVE team news, goal and score updates from sell-out WSL clash

History will be made today as Manchester City host Manchester United in the Women's Super League.

For the first time, City host United at their regular home, the Academy Stadium, in front of home supporters. City welcomed over 30,000 fans for the first derby in 2019 at the Etihad, but now have the chance to host their rivals across the road at the City Football Academy. This will be the first sell-out derby since United reformed in 2018.

For City, who trail United by five points, only victory will suffice in their ambitions to qualify for the Champions League. Defeat at Chelsea last week halted their recent resurgence, but manager Gareth Taylor says they are confident of picking up the wins required to make the top three.
