Manchester United Women host champions Chelsea in our next Barclays WSL game.
The Friday night meeting, to be held at the newly renamed Progress with Unity Stadium, is our second of four games to be held over a two-week period, with the packed schedule coming courtesy of our involvement in the UEFA Champions League.
It follows a Sunday lunchtime trip to face Liverpool in the WSL, which saw us bank a 2-0 win against the Merseysiders, stretching our unbeaten run to four games at the beginning of this WSL campaign.
Here’s everything you need to know about our upcoming fixture against the Blues…
HOW TO WATCH AND FOLLOW
The 19:30 BST kick-off is set to be broadcast live on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
You can also follow the action live in the United App and on ManUtd.com, including team news, in-game updates, a match report and exclusive post-match interviews.
There is still a chance to watch in-person with tickets available here – secure your seat now!
PAST MEETINGS
We faced Chelsea three times last season, and it’s safe to say they proved to be tough opposition in their unbeaten WSL campaign last term.
They secured a narrow 1-0 victory over the Reds at Kingsmeadow courtesy of a Guro Reiten penalty, and repeated the same scoreline in the reverse fixture on our home turf, this time Lucy Bronze proving the decisive goalscorer.
Marc Skinner’s side also faced Sonia Bompastor’s charges at Wembley Stadium in the FA Cup final, where a Sandy Baltimore brace and a Catarina Macario header sealed the silverware for our opponents.
United will, therefore, be seeking retribution.

FORM GUIDE
Skinner has overseen an incredible start to this WSL season, with three wins, against Leicester City, London City Lionesses and Liverpool, and a goalless draw with Arsenal leaving us unbeaten heading into this clash.
The only side in the entire league currently holding a better record than the Reds is Friday night’s opponent, Chelsea, who have won all of their first four fixtures and haven’t lost in the top-flight since May 2024.
Both outfits will be looking to blemish the other’s impressive start, and while a draw could leave both intact, neither is likely to settle for a point.
Given we held the eventual champions to two narrow scorelines in the league last season, history suggests this one has the potential to go either way, and will be a hard-fought contest no matter the end result.
