Manchester United Women travel to face a strugglingBrighton Womenside in an intriguing Women's Super League fixture.
Brighton Women have shown signs of struggle this term as they look to recover from a shambolic start to their Women's Super League campaign. After their opening day victory against Everton, the Seagulls have fallen off the track with three back-to-back defeats. A second-half come back from Chelsea in their last outing destroyed their hopes of ending a wretched losing streak after Pauline Bremer opened the scoring for Brighton.
On the other hand, Manchester United Women have managed two wins and two draws from their opening four games. A 5-0 routing of Everton in their previous encounter helped the Red Devils bridge the gap between their Manchester rivals, who are seeded at the pinnacle of the summit, to just two points. Braces from Nikita Parris and Rachel Williams after Melvine Malard's opener guided the English heavyweights to a scintillating victory.
