Manchester United Women Host Arsenal in Crucial Women’s Super League Clash

Manchester United Women are set to face off against Arsenal Women in a highly anticipated Women's Super League match on Sunday, November 3, 2024, at Leigh Sports Village. Mark Skinner‘s Manchester United side has been in impressive form early in the 2024/25 season, remaining unbeaten with three wins and one draw from their first four games, placing them third in the league.

Arsenal, who are the most successful women’s team in England with 15 league titles and 14 FA Cups, are looking to bounce back from an inconsistent start to the season. Despite their recent wins over Valerenga and West Ham, Arsenal are currently in fifth place, having won two, drawn two, and lost one of their five games. Interim manager Renee Slegers expressed optimism about her team’s preparation, highlighting strong individual performances during the international break and positive spirits in training.

The match will be broadcast live on BBC Two, starting with coverage at 12:15 GMT ahead of the 12:30 GMT kick-off. Fans can also follow the game through live radio commentary on MUTV, ManUtd.com, and the United App, along with exclusive interactive content and post-match analysis.

Both teams have injury concerns heading into the match. Manchester United’s Jayde Riviere, Melvine Malard, Anna Sandberg, and Evie Rabjohn were all doubts due to injuries and did not feature in the last game or for their national teams during the international break. For Arsenal, Leah Williamson returns to the starting lineup after being on the bench in their recent match against West Ham, while Laura Wienroither, Lotte Wubben-May, and Amanda Ilestedt are among those who were missing from the previous matchday squad.

The encounter promises to be a stern test for both teams, given their past meetings and current form. Manchester United will aim to maintain their momentum, while Arsenal seeks to continue their recent winning streak and stay in contention for the WSL title.
