We are due to welcome Brighton to Kingsmeadow in the Women’s Super League on Sunday 5 March, and this match will be broadcast on Sky Sports with kick-off at 6.45pm. However, should we progress to the Continental Cup final that weekend, our meeting with Brighton will be rescheduled.

A week later, Manchester United are the visitors to Kingsmeadow on Sunday 12 March for what promises to be a fascinating encounter between two title challengers. This match will be broadcast on BBC Two with kick-off scheduled for 12.30pm.

Our previous meeting with Brighton was also played in front of the television cameras at a soaking wet Broadfield Stadium back in October. Goals from Bethany England and Pernille Harder helped us to a 2-0 victory which extended our winning run in the league to four straight matches.

The first WSL match of November saw us travel north to face Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village where goals from Sam Kerr, Lauren James and Erin Cuthbert secured a 3-1 victory and a sixth consecutive league win.

There are two more matches for the Blues to navigate before the next international break. We travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in the WSL, with kick-off at 12.30pm, before visiting West Ham United in the Continental Cup semi-finals on Thursday 9 February, with kick-off at 7.15pm.
