Man United W vs Arsenal W: Match preview, team news, where to watch

Manchester United Women face Arsenal in their final Women’s Super League fixture on Saturday.

The Red Devils have sealed qualification for the Women’s Champions League after digging deep to secure a draw against rivals Manchester City last weekend.

The Gunners have qualified for the same competition but need to avoid a defeat in this fixture to finish ahead of the Red Devils.

The two teams are jostling to finish second to get a bye to the final qualifying round.

Match preview

United have lost just one of their last five league matches against Arsenal.

Marc Skinner’s side are not in the best form heading into this game, having failed to win their last three matches.

Arsenal are also in poor form, having won one and lost two of their last three league fixtures.

With United set to play Chelsea in the FA Women’s Cup final, Skinner could use this game to prepare his players for the encounter.

Arsenal boss Renee Slegers could also field a strong team. A victory over the Red Devils would help their morale ahead of their Women’s Champions League final clash with Lyon.

Team new

Skinner revealed in his pre-match conference that full-back Jayde Riviere and centre-forward Rachel Williams will miss this game.

However, they have not been ruled out of the FA Women’s Cup final.

Arsenal will be without goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar, forward Lina Hurtig and defender Katie Reid.

Where to watch

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the encounter on BBC Two, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website. There will also be live commentary on ManUtd.com.
