Manchester United Women vs Everton: Match preview, team news, where to watch
Manchester United Women host Everton at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday afternoon in their final league fixture before the international break.
United are now firm favourites to secure the last Champions League qualification spot.
After last weekend’s results, they sit seven points ahead of their closest challengers, Manchester City.
With tough fixtures ahead, including home games against Arsenal, Chelsea, and City, a win in this match is crucial for United.
Everton started the season slowly, failing to win any of their first seven league games, but they have since turned things around. They have won five and drawn one of their last ten encounters.
They will be in good spirits for this clash after securing a comfortable 3-0 victory at home against Crystal Palace last weekend.
Match preview
United are favourites for this contest. They are among the best teams in the division and boast an excellent home record, remaining unbeaten on their patch this season.
By contrast, Everton have struggled on the road, winning just once. They are unlikely to stage an upset against Marc Skinner’s side in tomorrow’s clash.
United have never lost in 11 encounters with Everton, winning nine and drawing two. Only against Tottenham have they recorded more victories.
Team news
Forward Celin Bizet and left-back Anna Sandberg are expected to be fit for this encounter.
Both were forced off with injuries during United’s 4-0 victory over Aston Villa last weekend.
However, defender Gabby George is ineligible to face her former side. She is serving a one-match suspension due to card accumulation.
Everton manager Brian Sorensen has confirmed that his squad has no fresh injury concerns but will be without Inma Gabarro, Aurora Galli, Megan Finnigan, and Louna Ribadeira.
Where to watch
The game will be broadcast live on the BBC Red Button and BBC iPlayer. Fans can also follow the action via the United App and ManUtd.com.
