Manchester United host Liverpool in the Women’s Super League hoping to open up a significant chasm in the table as club action returns after the international break.
Chelsea, Manchester City, surprise package Brighton and Arsenal have broken free of the rest of the WSL’s clubs along with Manchester United in what looks a competitive fight for European places.
Liverpool have lost their last two league games, including a disappointing derby defeat to Everton, though enjoyed a confidence restoring cup win over Newcastle.
They will hope to harry the hosts and add to growing disquiet surrounding manager Marc Skinner, who has faced boos recently despite a relatively solid start and leading Manchester United to their first major silverware last season.
