Preview: United Women v Leicester City

Go to the primary menuNavigate to the main content The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes to society. People worldwide have had to adapt to new ways of living to reduce the spread of the virus. One of the most notable changes is the transition to remote work. Since physical distancing became necessary, many companies have allowed their employees to work from home to ensure their safety. While remote work may seem ideal, it has its challenges. For instance, it can be difficult to stay motivated and productive without the structure and routines of a physical office. Moreover, the pandemic has affected people's mental health. Being stuck at home for long periods can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Furthermore, the fear of contracting the virus can cause anxiety and stress, especially for those at high risk. However, there are ways to reduce the impact of these negative effects. For remote workers, maintaining a work-life balance and setting boundaries between work and personal time is crucial. It is also essential to stay socially connected with coworkers, friends, and family via video chats or phone calls. Those struggling with mental health should prioritize self-care, including exercise, healthy eating, and getting enough sleep. They can also reach out to loved ones, mental health professionals, or support groups for help and guidance. The pandemic has disrupted the way of life for many people, but by taking care of ourselves and each other, we can manage these unprecedented times.

It's currently 12:49 on Wednesday 13 December in the year 2023.

On Thursday evening, the Manchester United Women's team will be playing against Leicester City at the Leigh Sports Village for the Continental Tyres League Cup.

This will be our third time participating in this season's version, after succeeding in matches against Everton and Liverpool.

At the moment, United holds the second position in Group B, just behind Manchester City. However, due to the unequal number of participating teams, Manchester City won't be playing this week. This puts United in a favorable position to finish the year in the top spot.

Before the Foxes come to visit Leigh, there are some important things to be aware of.

What are the ways to watch the game? Our upcoming game against Willie Kirk's team is scheduled to start at 7:00 pm GMT. If you're located in the UK & Ireland, you can catch the live streaming via MUTV.

Do you know the latest updates about the team? Unfortunately, Emma Watson, Gabby George, Jessica Simpson, and Aoife Mannion won't be playing with United for a while because of their prolonged injuries. Recently, they were also joined by Evie Rabjohn on the list of injured players.

Irene Guerrero and Hinata Miyazawa won't be playing in the upcoming two games before Christmas. Our team is fully available for the match, with all players who played in last week's 4-0 win against Spurs set to play.

It is anticipated that the Foxes will have a few important players missing for their upcoming matches. Deanne Rose is amongst those who won't be playing due to her hamstring issue. Additionally, Shannon O'Brien and Remy Siemsen will also be absent from the field for some time.

Kirk's team is currently in third place in Group B, only one point behind the Reds. They are also two points behind the team in first place, City.

Leicester started their journey in this tournament with a triumph of 2-1 against Liverpool - Aimee Palmer, who used to play for United, scored the first goal. Before the end of the first half, Natasha Flint tied the score for the away team. However, Hannah Cain's goal shortly after the game resumed ensured that the home team won all three points.

Leicester City faced Manchester City in their upcoming match in the Conti Cup. Kirk's team took charge of the game before half-time. Janice Cayman and Sophie Howard scored two quick goals to give them an advantage. However, Deyna Castellanos and Laura Coombs scored a goal each in the second half to ensure a draw for Gareth Taylor's team. Despite this, Leicester City won the bonus point after winning the penalty shootout 4-3.

We have already faced Leicester City this season during a WSL match that took place in front of Leigh Sports Village supporters. It was a closely-fought game that resulted in both teams walking away with a point. Aileen Whelan put the visiting team in the lead at the 60-minute mark, but Maya Le Tissier's goal equalized the score seven minutes later.
