Both teams entered the fixture having won their opening league match of 2023/24 as Gareth Taylor’s team beat West Ham 2-0 and Emma Hayes’ side recorded a 2-1 win over Spurs.
The clash represented an early meeting for two title rivals to lock horns with a sold-out crowd expected in Manchester.
Last times the sides did battle, goals from Filippa Angeldahl and Lauren Hemp sealed a 2-0 win for City in March 2023.
And it was gearing up to be another enthralling encounter.
How would proceedings play out this time around?
