CURRENT FORM

The unbeaten Reds come into the weekend’s action sitting fourth in the WSL table, having won three and drawn two of our five games so far.

Skinner’s charges are two points behind third-placed Brighton and five behind leaders Manchester City, who have played one more game than us.

Last time out, Malard’s late equalizer gave him a point against Arsenal on a milestone day for the Reds. Millie Turner made her 150th appearance for the club, Skinner made her 100th appearance and there was a club record crowd of 8,348 for a United Women’s match at Leigh Sports Village.

Meanwhile, our rival is still looking for its first league victory under coach Robert de Pauw. Their only two points came in home draws against Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City.

The Villans have lost all three of their league games away from home, including a narrow 2-1 defeat to table-topping City in their final game before the international break, which included a first WSL goal for Gabi Nunes .

De Pauw’s tenth-placed team is one of three teams yet to win, along with West Ham United and Everton.
