City v United: Duggan and Howey our Matchday Live guests | OneFootball

Matchday Live will once again have a stellar lineup of guests on our broadcast for the Barclays Women’s Super League Manchester derby.

City lock horns with Manchester United on Sunday 19 January with kick-off for the first heavyweight bout between the sides in 2024/25 set for 19:30 (UK).

Gareth Taylor’s side won each of our three meetings with our cross-city rivals last term, but only one point separates the Blues in second and Marc Skinner’s side in fourth heading into the latest encounter.

It all points to an enthralling night under the Etihad lights and tickets can be purchased here.

For such an occasion, Toni Duggan and Steve Howey will join presenter Natalie Pike in the Matchday Live studio to provide analysis before, at half-time and after the full-time whistle.

Those with push notifications turned on will be alerted to all the key moments, with Nick Walsh and Karen Bardsley also guiding you through the action from the press box with live audio commentary.

A detailed match report plus reaction from Gareth Taylor and a player will be made available soon after the full-time whistle.
