The Barclays Women’s Super League fixtures involving Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United have been rescheduled to accommodate television coverage in the United Kingdom. The changes will see Andrée Jeglertz's side hosting the Londoners on Saturday 21 March at 12:00 (UK), with the match being broadcast on Sky Sports.
The much-anticipated clash between City and Spurs will now take place at the Joie Stadium. This fixture is a rematch of their previous encounter in September, where City recorded an impressive 5-1 victory. The goals came from Aoba Fujino, Vivianne Miedema, Kerstin Casparij, Grace Clinton and Laura Coombs.
However, since that defeat, Martin Ho's Spurs team has enjoyed a strong top-flight campaign and currently sits fifth in the division. This makes them a formidable opponent for Jeglertz's side despite their previous loss.
Old Trafford showdown
Following this fixture is another exciting match-up as City travels to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on Saturday 28 March. The game has been scheduled for a start time of 13:30 (UK) and will be shown live on BBC One.
City fans have fond memories of their last meeting with Manchester United when they put their cross-city rivals to sword with a commanding 3-0 victory at Etihad Stadium back in November. Rebecca Knaak opened the scoring with her trademark header in the first half followed by Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw doubling their lead just before halftime. Lauren Hemp rounded off an excellent performance by scoring right before break time.
As we enter into the final six WSL matches of this season, City finds themselves comfortably placed at top of table eight points clear from Marc Skinner’s side in second. The team is relentlessly pursuing the title before the term’s end, making these upcoming fixtures crucial for their championship aspirations. These rescheduled matches promise to deliver high-quality football and are sure to keep sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts on the edge of their seats. With City's strong performance this season, it will be interesting to see how Spurs and Manchester United strategize to challenge them in these upcoming fixtures.
