The upcoming FA Cup 5th round clash between archrivals Manchester United and Manchester City will be a "battle for rights," veteran goalkeeper Karen Bardsley says.
"It does get a little spicy, you know?" the Manchester City keeper told Connect the World's Becky Anderson in Dubai this week.
The two teams will meet on Sunday at Leigh Sports Village, a 12,000 capacity stadium, in what will be their second encounter in a fortnight. Recent derbies have been a "celebration of where women's football has come," Bardsley said, remembering fondly a 2019 game at City's Etihad stadium which drew a crowd of 30,000 people.

Before the stealth bombers streaked through the Middle Eastern night, or the missiles rained down on suspected terrorists in Africa, or commandos snatched a South American president from his bedroom, or the icy slopes of Greenland braced for the threat of invasion, there was an idea at the White House.

More than two weeks after the stunning US raid on Caracas that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro, the political confrontation over the future of Venezuela is rapidly coalescing around two leaders, both women, who represent different visions for their country: the acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, who stands for continuity, and opposition leader María Corina Machado, who seeks the restoration of democracy.
