How to watch and follow United Women v Burnley

It is at this stage that Barclays Women's Super League sides enter the competition, and we've been drawn against the third-tier Clarets in our first tie.

With success in the Subway Women's League Cup against Tottenham Hotspur before the Christmas break, we find ourselves starting the year competing on four fronts, including the UEFA Champions League, a run we'll be hoping to maintain with victory in this Sunday-afternoon clash.

HOW TO WATCH AND FOLLOW

Fancy catching some live FA Cup action? You're in luck! There are still tickets available for the 13:00 GMT kick-off at the Progress With Unity Stadium, which can be purchased here.

The game is not available to stream or watch live on TV, as it has not been selected for coverage by broadcasters TNT Sports and Channel 4.

Those not heading to Leigh this weekend, however, can keep up-to-date with all the action via our live radio commentary on MUTV, ManUtd.com and in the United App, starting shortly before kick-off.

Stay tuned across those platforms throughout the day for team news, updates and interactive content to ensure you don't miss a beat.

TEAM NEWS

Marc Skinner revealed ahead of our trip to face Arsenal last weekend that both Ella Toone and Gabby George face multiple weeks in the treatment room with injuries.

Toone is suffering with a hip issue, while George is recovering from a calf injury, which prevented the duo facing Arsenal last weekend and is likely to keep them out of this one, too.

The timeframe was less certain on Leah Galton, who missed the trip down south with an ongoing back issue.

Jayde Riviere was sent off in that clash, receiving a second yellow just after the hour mark, but will be available for this game, as the one-match suspension doesn't apply to this competition.

As ever, Skinner may provide further fitness updates in his pre-match press conference, scheduled for Friday morning.

OPPOSITION WATCH

Burnley are a relatively new opponent for our women's side, who we have faced just once before, at the same stage of this competition back in 2020/21.

That ended in a 6-0 victory for the Reds, but Skinner's side are to expect a much sterner test this weekend, with the Clarets having moved to become a full-time, professional outfit at the start of this season with designs on rising through the leagues.

To that end, they are currently unbeaten in the FA Women's National League Northern Premier Division, the third tier of the English pyramid, with 10 wins and two draws out of their first 12.

The Lancashire outfit have beat Peterborough United, Blackburn Rovers and Norwich City to reach this round, scoring 23 goals across the three ties and conceding none, but the Reds will undoubtedly pose the biggest challenge so far.
