Manchester United will aim to claim a second victory in a row when they host Brighton & Hove Albion at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday's early Women's Super League (WSL)kick-off.
After being dumped out of the Women’s League Cup in controversial fashion despite initially qualifying for the quarter-finals, the Red Devils' provided a perfect response as they ran out 2-1 victors against Aston Villa in the WSL last time out, with Nikita Parris bagging a brace. Despite the three points, the hosts stayed in fourth place and seven points adrift of the top three.
As for the Seagulls, they are set to play their first game since Melissa Phillips was relieved of her duties as Brighton's head coach following a 3-0 loss against reigning champions Chelsea last time out.
Phillips had been at the helm for less than a year when she was sacked yesterday and left them reeling in 10th place with 11 points after 12 games, six points above the relegation spot.
