Manchester United Women will play host to Bristol City Women at Leigh Sports Village Stadium in the Women's Super League on Sunday.
Manchester United Women vs Bristol City Women Preview
Fresh from an impressive 4-0 away win against Brighton in the Women’s FA Cup, Manchester United will hope to maintain their momentum on Sunday. They dropped crucial points in their last two league games, losing to Arsenal 3-1 and drawing against West Ham 1-1. However, this will be their first home meeting in five matches.
The Red Devils are pushing to catch up with the top three sides Chelsea (37 points), Manchester City (37) and Arsenal (34). Time is not their friend, with seven rounds of matches to spare. Manchester United sit fourth, level on 25 points with fifth-placed Liverpool, who could pull ahead if United play badly against Bristol City.
