'I know Willie Kirk' - Manchester United boss Marc Skinner makes Leicester game prediction

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Sunday sees the top and bottom of the Women’s Super League go head to head at Leigh Sports Village as Manchester United host Willie Kirk's struggling Leicester City.

It will be the fourth time these two sides have met in England’s top-tier football, United victorious on every occasion, inclusive of the 1-0 win earlier in the season at the King Power Stadium where Nikita Parris scored the only goal of the game.

Manager Marc Skinner said: "I’d expect Willie [Kirk] to be more aggressive. When I look at the way he sets up and how he's attacked Manchester City and some of the other games against Chelsea and so on, they’ve set up with an attacking temperament and personality so this might be a game where we expect more of a high press. "I’d expect them to not fear us at all and come to try and take some points so we will have to prepare for that and a high aggressive progressive press and a high energy team and do all we can to try and control that." United come into the game in top form with an 11-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, spanning back to early November when Skinner's side lost to Chelsea 3-1 in their only league loss to date this season.

They occupy the top spot with 32 points from 13 games, a point ahead of defending champions Chelsea, who have a game in hand, but a three-point cushion from third place and local rivals Manchester City.
