Manchester United Women
- Manchester United Women have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five in all competitions.
- United have won their last two home games, beating Everton 2-1 last time out.
- United’s front three can interchange positions with ease and they like to press high up the field and close down opponents, but they can be picked off on the counter-attack and have conceded an average of 1.00 goals per game at home in the league.
- City are top of the pile on 46 points from 18 games, while United are eight behind them in second place.
Manchester City Women
- Manchester City Women have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches.
- Andrée Jeglertz’s City side will be looking to maintain their top of the table position in the Super League Women 2025/2026 season when they travel across Manchester to take on Marc Skinner’s United in the derby at Old Trafford on Saturday.
- Jeglertz has deployed a back three with wingbacks that cover a lot of ground and get into the attack, but they are comfortable in possession and can go from end to end with the same effectiveness as United.
- Both teams are capable of scoring here and both will want to attack, but City have a better away record in the league, winning five, drawing one and losing two, conceding an average of 0.88 per game.
Head-to-Head
- Manchester United Women have not won their last home clash with Manchester City Women.
- City won 3-0 in the most recent derby meeting four months ago in the Super League Women 2024/2025 and they may just repeat the trick this time around.
Key Players
- Elisabeth Terland, with six goals in 17 Super League games this term, remains United’s biggest goal threat, but City are blessed with an in-form striker in Khadija Shaw.
- The Jamaican international has 18 goals in 18 Super League appearances and is a constant threat to score from any position.
