United played the Royals twice last season, once in the Continental League Cup and once in the FA Cup, and while Reading’s top-flight experience shone through with two victories last term, Casey Stoney is looking forward to the test this latest match will provide.
Speaking in this weekend’s matchday programme, the MU Women head coach says: “Both teams come into this match in good form. We are three wins from three with three clean sheets, and Kelly Chambers’ side arrive having won four of their last five.
“We played each other twice last season and though both ended in defeat for us, the matches were close and we took positives from them.
