Man City vs Man Utd
FA Women's Super League 2019-20
Venue: Etihad Stadium
Kick-off time: 3pm BST, today
Manchester United kick off life in the top flight of English women's football this afternoon with a tough test against Manchester City at the Etihad.
The Premier League ground will host Saturday's derby clash between the two Manchester clubs, with high hopes of a bumper crowd to build on the huge success of England's World Cup semi-final run this summer.
United Women formed just 15 months ago and won promotion to the WSL after a superb 2018-19 campaign with Casey Stoney in charge, but City will be determined to prove that they have a long way to go yet.
Prediction: Man City 3-1 Man Utd
A derby win would be the best possible way for United to announce themselves as a new WSL team, but City have the pedigree here.
Nick Cushing's City are an established side and finished second to Arsenal last season while also winning the Women's FA Cup, and it is difficult to see the Red Devils getting a result.
