Published on Saturday, 7 February 2026 at 12:45 pm
Manchester United will be aiming to strengthen our position inside the Barclays Women’s Super League’s top two when we travel to Leicester City on Saturday. Marc Skinner’s Reds moved up to second in the table with last Sunday’s 3-1 win over Liverpool in Leigh and can build on that result at the King Power Stadium. The win over Liverpool marked a significant milestone for the team, as they demonstrated their ability to bounce back from a tough defeat against Chelsea. The Reds will be looking to carry this momentum into the upcoming match against Leicester City, who are currently struggling to find their footing in the league.
The Foxes have had a challenging start to the season, with only a few wins under their belt. Despite this, they have shown glimpses of their potential, particularly in their recent match against Tottenham Hotspur. Leicester City's coach, Lydia Bedford, will be looking to capitalize on her team's home advantage and push the Reds to their limits. The Foxes have a reputation for being a tough opponent, and Manchester United will need to be at the top of their game if they hope to secure a win.
Manchester United's squad is looking strong, with several key players returning from injury. The team's attacking lineup, led by stars such as Ella Toone and Alessia Russo, will be looking to exploit Leicester City's defensive weaknesses. The Reds' defense, meanwhile, will need to be solid in order to contain the Foxes' attacking threats. The match promises to be an exciting and closely contested affair, with both teams fighting for valuable points in the league. A win for Manchester United would be a significant boost to their title hopes, while a victory for Leicester City would be a major upset and a welcome turnaround in their fortunes.
The King Power Stadium is expected to be electric, with a lively crowd cheering on the home team. Manchester United's fans, however, will be out in force, traveling to Leicester to support their team. The atmosphere will be intense, and the players will need to be focused and composed if they hope to emerge victorious. The match kicks off at 12:30 PM GMT, and fans can catch all the action live on television or through online streaming services. With the stakes high and the tension building, this promises to be a thrilling encounter between two teams with a lot to prove.
As the teams take to the field, the question on everyone's mind will be: can Manchester United build on their recent success and strengthen their grip on a top-two spot, or will Leicester City pull off a stunning upset and deal a blow to the Reds' title hopes? One thing is certain: this match will be an unmissable fixture in the Barclays Women’s Super League, with plenty of drama, action, and excitement in store for fans.
