"Manchester is gearing up for another high-stakes derby in the Women's Super League. Last season's four meetings across three domestic competitions tilted in Manchester United's favour, but City are revitalised under new head coach Andree Jeglertz and have a point to prove after a disappointing 2024-25. Can United help knock City off their perch at the top of the table? Or will City land a lethal blow to United's title aspirations?"
"It may be early in the season but - with a host of teams neck and neck at the top of the table - dropping points now could still prove crucial. City leapfrogged Chelsea at the summit last weekend, narrowly beating Everton after the six-time defending champions drew 1-1 with Arsenal. Asked about City's place at the top of the table, Jeglertz praised his team but said they are well aware there is still a large chunk of the season remaining."
Manchester hosts a high-stakes Women's Super League derby at the Etihad on Saturday 15 November, kick-off 13:30 GMT, live on BBC One and iPlayer. Last season's four meetings across three competitions went in Manchester United's favour, but Manchester City are revitalised under head coach Andree Jeglertz after a disappointing 2024-25. City climbed to the top by narrowly beating Everton while Chelsea drew with Arsenal. United suffered their first league defeat, 1-0 at home to Aston Villa, and a second straight loss would leave them seven points behind City. City must remember they failed to beat teams finishing above them last season.
