The WSL is back this weekend following last week’s break for the Continental Cup.
There are games in big stadiums, the return of big name players and a couple of managerial reunions to keep your eye on.
Here’s everything to look out for on gameweek nine of the WSL.
Manchester United are on course to set a new club attendance record after selling 36,000 tickets and counting for this game against Aston Villa – the third time they will have played at Old Trafford.
The existing club record is just over 20,000, set at the win over Everton at Old Trafford last season, but will be shattered if all those with tickets attend. It is, however, not likely to get near the overall WSL record in excess of 47,000 set by Arsenal earlier this season.
“We understand our place in terms of the growth of the game. We want to get to a stage where we sell out Old Trafford as a team, regardless of gender,” said United boss Marc Skinner, who is adamant that fans have to be given a great game to make them want to keep going.
“If you don’t put a good spectacle on, why would people want to come and watch it? That is our responsibility.”

Arsenal saw their record-breaking WSL winning streak come to an end last time out against Manchester United, but could set another one against Everton on Saturday.
The Gunners have won 13 league matches in a row against Everton – the joint-longest winning run one team has had against another in the competition, with Manchester City also on a current run of 13 successive victories against Everton. Win on Saturday and the record will be exclusively theirs.
Arsenal will be boosted by the returns of Leah Williamson and Rafaelle. The centre back pairing have both been sidelined for two months, but Jonas Eidevall has confirmed they are fit to return to the match day squad.
