Key events
Sarina Wiegman is in attendance at Leigh today. She will be keeping her eye on the England internationals to make sure they are in form going into the World Cup. She will be desperately hoping none of them go down injured after losing some key players already.
Some big news coming out of Leigh.

Welcome
There are a mere three games left of the season for Manchester United and they, frankly, need to win them all if they are to lift the Women’s Super League trophy for the first time. Chelsea are four behind and will have three matches in hand by the time the full-time whistle blows in Leigh.
United will fully expect to beat Tottenham, who sit ninth in the table with four victories in 19 league matches. Chelsea were the last team to beat United almost two months ago. Since then United have looked unstoppable, reaching the FA Cup final and maintaining top spot. They certainly have the momentum but with a trip to Wembley next weekend to face Chelsea, followed by a derby against second-placed City coming up, things could not be more serious.
Tottenham still face a serious risk of being relegated. They will be realistic in their outlook that a point in Leigh would a tremendous result, with their true destiny to be decided in their next match against bottom club Reading.
Here’s to a fun game!
Kick-off: 12.30pm
