Chelsea v Manchester United: How to watch WSL rivals clash

Chelsea will host Manchester United in the Women’s Super League this Sunday.

The game is a rescheduled fixture after it was moved following clashes with Chelsea’s Women’s Champions League schedule.

The match could see the Blues put more points between them and second place Manchester City.

Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor, who has become the first WSL manager to win her first seven league games in charge, has said James could be back after the international break.

The Chelsea boss said on their unbeaten start to the season: “I am never surprised. I make sure we work really hard as a team and as a club to succeed and to have a good run, a good dynamic.

“Maybe people just think that’s easy, it’s been easy but it’s not. It’s been a lot of work and we just make sure we maintain this hard work.”

In FourFourTwo’s view it is going to take a lot to stop Chelsea this season with the only club likely to challenge them for the WSL title being Manchester City.

United are also unbeaten in the league season but sit in fifth after four wins and three draws.

They are currently six points behind leaders Chelsea and a win over the Blues this weekend could propel them to third.

Use a VPN to watch from anywhereIf you’re overseas when the next round of Premier League fixtures kicks off, annoyingly your usual on-demand services won’t work. That’s because your IP address tells the broadcaster you’re in another country, and you’ll subsequently be blocked from tuning in – not ideal if you’ve already paid up for a subscription service you’re not able to use.

Thankfully there is another option that doesn’t involve resorting to one of those illegal feeds on Reddit. All you need is a VPN (Virtual Private Network), a handy piece of software which can make it look like your device is still back at home.

Assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to create a private connection between your device and choice and the internet, meaning the streamer can’t work out where you are and won’t automatically block the service you’ve paid for. All the info going between is also entirely encrypted – and that’s a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, but FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar are big fans of NordVPN:
