Hello and welcome to minute-by-minute coverage of the 10th Manchester derby in Women’s Super League history. The stakes are high for both teams, especially after Chelsea’s 5-0 win over West Ham earlier. A loss for either side could put the league title beyond reach.

Manchester City sit in second place but have lost two of their last three WSL matches. Gareth Taylor’s side are also without star players Khadija Shaw, Lauren Hemp and Alex Greenwood. Chloe Kelly, who has largely been frozen out this season, is unlikely to play amid transfer interest from Manchester United.

Manchester United are not far behind their noisy neighbours in fourth place. Marc Skinner’s side have the best defensive record in the league (only conceding three goals) but will need to offer more offensively if they’re to win away at City for the first time in the WSL. They’re without Evie Rabjohn and Lisa Naalsund through injury and Brazilian striker Geyse who has been given some personal leave.

Kick off is at 6:45pm. Keep refreshing this page for updates and email me with your thoughts.
