Liverpool Women and Manchester United Women clash in the Women’s Super League this weekend and things could not be closer between the two great rivals. Liverpool lie fifth in the table, level on points with Manchester United and with the exact same won, drawn, loss record. However, the home team’s goal difference is far inferior to United’s, which is why they must win this game to jump above United in the table. Matt Beard’s team have won their last two games, starting with a 1-0 win on the road at Brighton but then had their best result of the season in midweek, a 4-3 home win over Chelsea. The Reds have won five of their last seven, drawing one and losing one and will come into the game at Prenton Park full of confidence.

Manchester United Women are on a three game unbeaten streak, winning two and drawing one of their last three. They have lost just one game in the last six, winning three, drawing two. Head coach Marc Skinner’s team lie fourth on the table, ahead of their hosts today on goal difference. He will also want payback following a surprise 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool earlier in the season at Leigh Sports Village. A top three finish and European football next season off the table for both teams. So, it will be the privilege of finishing in fourth position and above their local rivals that is the main motivation for both teams. In a rivalry as fierce as this, that is often more than enough to produce a hugely competitive game.
