Manchester United vs Manchester City (WSL)
This weekend features a crucial Manchester Derby in the Women’s Super League, where the top two teams face off with the title at stake.
Manchester City needs just eight points from their remaining four matches to secure their first WSL title in ten years, while Manchester United still have faint hopes of catching them.
An eight-point gap currently separates the teams, and only a win will do for United at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils have had a tough time in recent derby matches, with only two wins from their last 12 WSL meetings with City.
Kick-off: 1:30pm, Saturday 28th March
Where to watch: Live on BBC Sport, BBC One, and BBC iPlayer in the UK.
