Leicester City Women vs Man United: Match preview, team news, and how to watch

Manchester United Women are back in Barclays Women’s Super League action on Saturday afternoon at Leicester City.

United claimed a 3-1 victory over bottom-placed Liverpool last time out, climbing to second in the standings.

Leicester lost 2-1 to West Ham United in their last league action, condemning them to their eighth loss in the competition this term.

Match preview

United have enjoyed a good run of form since the turn of the year, winning five and drawing one in their last six games across all competitions.

United have been prolific, scoring 13 goals, and appear to have rediscovered their defensive solidity, conceding just twice within that period.

United will aim to build on this impressive form for their visit to Leicester to continue their push for a top three finish.

Marc Skinner’s side triumphed 4-0 in the reverse fixture and will be looking to complete the double over the Foxes for the second consecutive season.

The hosts have lost their last two league fixtures and are just two points clear of Liverpool.

The Foxes have struggled at both ends, scoring just eight goals — the lowest in the division — while only three teams have conceded more.

Leicester have won just two of their seven league home games, scoring six goals and conceding 12, which makes it difficult to see how they secure a victory here.

Across 12 meetings with United, Leicester have won just once, drawn two, and lost nine.

Team news

Skinner has confirmed that Ella Toone and Leah Galton are ‘still out‘, leaving them along with long-term absentee Celin Bizet as the only United players on the sidelines.

Celeste Boureille and Jutta Rantala are ruled out for the hosts.

How to watch

The encounter will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Ultra HDR. Live commentary will be available on ManUtd.com and the official United app.
