Man United Women vs Lyon: Women's Champions League preview, head-to-head, team news, where to watch

Manchester United Women return to UEFA Women’s Champions League action on Wednesday evening, facing Lyon at the Progress With Unity Stadium.

United suffered their first defeat in the competition last time out, losing 5-2 at Wolfsburg.

Lyon, meanwhile, fought back from a three-goal deficit to rescue a 3-3 draw against Juventus, maintaining their unbeaten start.

Match preview

United have collected nine points from their first four games and need three more from their last two matches to guarantee a play-off spot.

However, a victory against Lyon would strengthen their chances of securing automatic qualification to the quarter-finals ahead of their final match at Juventus.

For that to happen, the Red Devils would have to overcome their recent struggles and produce a brilliant performance against the in-form French side.

Lyon have not tasted defeat in their last 16 games in all competitions (15 wins, 1 draw). Unsurprisingly, the eight-time champions are huge favourites for this encounter.

Les Fenottes are aiming for their second victory on English soil this season, having beaten holders Arsenal 2-1 in October.

Head-to-head

This marks the first-ever meeting between Man United and Lyon in the Women’s Champions League.

Team news

Celine Bizet Donnum will miss this clash, having taken maternity leave, while Millie Turner is also expected to sit this one out.

Lyon have no injury concerns heading into Wednesday’s showdown.

Where to watch

The clash will be broadcast live on Disney+. A watch-along will also be available on the club’s official YouTube channel, the United App, and on ManUtd.com.
