Two of the Women's Super League's most storied rivals meet at Leigh Sports Village on Saturday afternoon, when Manchester United Women host Liverpool Women.
The Red Devils have made a slow start to the WSL season, collecting four points from as many games, while the Reds have fared better with three extra points to their name.
Another enthralling battle is expected when these two lock horns in Leigh as United aim to register a third win in a row against their rivals in the Women's Super League.

Manchester United Women v Liverpool Women Prediction
Best Bet: Manchester United Women to win @ 10/11
United endured a difficult start to the campaign with defeats to the London City Lionesses (2-1) and Chelsea Women (5-0), but they stopped the rot with a 1-1 draw against Arsenal Women and have since racked up three wins in a row.
The Red Devils gave their scoring confidence a boost with a 10-1 demolition of Sheffield United Women in the Women's League Cup before picking up their first league win of the campaign when beating West Ham Women 2-1.
A 5-1 thrashing of Durham Women in the cup was recorded on Wednesday and United head into this clash against Liverpool in red-hot form in front of goal.
The Reds will be no easy pushovers and they themselves are on a three-match winning streak, beating Sunderland Women (4-2), Everton Women (2-0) and Birmingham City Women (4-3).
But Liverpool lost their last WSL game away from home, going down 4-2 at Manchester City Women, while they have been beaten on their last three trips to Leigh Sports Village by an aggregate score of 9-1.
Home advantage could prove crucial and United are expected to claim the spoils along with the bragging rights.
Alternative Bet: Fuka Nagano to be booked @ 8/1
This could turn into a competitive battle in midfield and Liverpool's Fuka Nagano could find her name being taken by the official for the third time this season.
Nagano was cautioned in the WSL clashes against Charlton Athletic and Manchester City and given the amount of defending the Reds may have to do in Leigh, another yellow could be on the way.
Manchester United Women v Liverpool Women Bet Builder Tip
Rebeca Bernal anytime goalscorer
Julia Zigiotti Olme to be booked
Over 3 goals
Pays 80/1
United defender Rebeca Bernal has been a scoring threat this season and she has netted three times in her last three appearances, including in the most recent win over Durham. She looks capable of notching again.
Bernal's team-mate, midfielder Julia Zigiotti Olme, was booked in her last appearance against West Ham, adding to her caution in the season opener against London City, and she may fall foul of the referee again.
There have been more than three goals in three of United's last five matches and in four of Liverpool's six fixtures this term.
