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.

As lawmakers demand answers over reports that the US military carried out a follow-up strike that killed survivors during an attacked on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, a career Navy SEAL who has spent most of his 30 years of military experience in special operations will be responsible for providing them.
