Emotions will be heightened on Saturday when Manchester City and Manchester United come head-to-head in the Women’s Super League for the 12th time. From Caroline Weir’s sublime lob to Georgia Stanway’s red card and Ella Toone’s hat-trick at the Etihad Stadium, in recent years this burgeoning rivalry has started to provide the type of memorable moments worthy of a derby of this nature.
The latest encounter, at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday lunchtime, promises to be extra-fascinating given the teams’ form. City – who have won five WSL derbies to United’s two – went top last weekend; United are third, four points behind. Both have lost once this season.
