Preview: Manchester United Vs Leicester City

Leicester City will face Manchester United on Sunday at Leigh Sports Village in an important game for both sides.

Leicester are looking to close the gap between themselves and the three teams sitting above them. All three points against United would leave City level on points with Tottenham and boost them into 10th, if Brighton and Reading both lose their matches.

Manchester United, on the other hand, will be looking to take all three points to push them further away from title-chasing Chelsea. The Red Devils are currently sat top of the table in the WSL, but are just one point from second place Chelsea and three points ahead of Manchester City in third.

Leicester beat Liverpool 1-0 with an early goal from Hannah Cain in their last outing in the WSL. Marc Skinner's Manchester United won 2-1 against Tottenham, a controversial red card saw Ella Toone sent off. The win saw them keep their place at the top of the league and one point ahead of Chelsea.

Manager Willie Kirk said Remy Siemsen will be available, he also revealed there's an injury to 'a key member of the squad', but wouldn't comment on who this was.

Manchester United will be without Jayde Riviere, but January signing Lisa Naalsund could make her United debut against the Foxes.

Leicester City Women's Head Coach Willie Kirk said his team are looking for bonus points.

"We’ve got absolutely no right to take anything from the game. We can play with more freedom, knowing we’re playing for bonus points. These are games we should be looking forward to."

Sunday's match is available to watch live on BBC TWO and the BBC iPlayer, with coverage beginning just before 12:30pm kick-off.
