Manchester City travel to Old Trafford in the WSL this weekend in what is their fourth match against Manchester United this season. There is everything to play for in this derby, with it taking place in the penultimate matchweek of the 2024-25 Women’s Super League.
35-year-old Juventus forward Cristiana Girelli looks set to clinch her third Serie A Femminile Golden Boot award as she leads the charts with 19 goals from 23 appearances with the Serie A femminile play-offs left with one week.
Lazio forward, Martina Piemonte, who is second on the goal charts with 17 goals in 23 appearances, missed the opportunity to match Girelli despite scoring a brace in Lazio's 5-0 demolition of Sassuolo in their last match of the relegation round on Saturday.
Girelli's teammate, 25-year-old forward Sofia Cantore, is third on the goal charts with 11 goals in 24 appearances and will need to score more than eight goals to win the golden boot - while hoping Girelli does not score - in their last match of the season against Inter Milan next weekend.
The home team is riding a goal-scoring tear from Golden Boot leader Esther González, who now has 7 goals in 4 matches and is tied with Sam Kerr for the club record in consecutive multigoal games (4).
Chicago’s attack has been inconsistent, but Ludmila and Jameese Joseph are always threats. Goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher is a shutout away from 50 career shutouts, only ever achieved by one other NWSL goalkeeper (Nicole Barnhart). It's the perfect way to start off your Sunday with another fun matchup slated for later in the evening! (Source: nwslsoccer.com)
Gotham returns home after a tough midweek loss in Portland followed up by a huge result against the Washington Spirit on the road. With international stars who thrive in clutch moments and two youthful squads full of players eager to prove themselves, this one has all the ingredients for a classic.
Going into this game, Head Coach Jimmy Coenraets made two changes in the starting lineup, eight days removed from the away loss in Houston. Spanish MF Claudia Zornoza was replaced after sustaining a leg injury against the Dash last game and FW Aisha Solorzano was also left off of the starting XI.
Goalkeeper McKinley Crone made her NWSL regular season debut as she was called upon just six minutes into the second half, coming on as a substitute for Anna Moorhouse.
