How to watch today's Manchester United Women vs Chelsea Women WSL game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Manchester United Women will look to leapfrog Chelsea Women at the summit of the WSL standings table when the two sides clash at Leigh Sports Village on Friday.

After four matchdays, the long-time defending champions have their all-win record to defend. Sonia Bompastor's side recently recorded wins against Leicester City and West Ham, wherein the Blues scored a combined five goals and conceded none.

On the other hand, two points behind the current leaders, Marc Skinner's side suffered a slip when they were held to a goalless draw by Arsenal, but effectively bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Liverpool last time out.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Manchester United Women team news

Mille Turner remains sidelined with a knee problem. Leah Galton and Simi Ayujo resumed training, but it is unlikely that the duo will feature here.

Hinata Miyazawa and Ella Toone scored in the Liverpool win and should continue in support of Norwegian forward Elisabeth Terland up front.

Chelsea Women team news

Bompastor has a lengthy injury list, headlined by the absence of Lauren James due to an ankle injury.

Brooke Aspin, Kadeisha Buchanan, Lucy Bronze, Mayra Ramirez, Naomi Girma, and Niamh Charles are the other injury absentees.

Aggie Beever-Jones will lead the line. Fresh off her club debut against West Ham, Alyssa Thompson and Wieke Kaptein are likely to complete the attacking trident.
