Manchester United will make their Women's Super League debut against rivals Manchester City on the opening day of the new 2019/20 season.

Casey Stoney’s outfit will travel to the Academy Stadium to face last season’s league runners-up and FA Cup winners in the first round of fixtures, which will be held over the weekend of September 7/ 8.

United, the only full-time side in last year’s part-time Championship, won all but two of their league fixtures in their inaugural season as they clinched the title less than a year after they were formed.

Meanwhile WSL newcomers Tottenham Hotspur, who finished second in the Women’s Championship last season, will face Chelsea in a hotly-contested London derby.

Elsewhere in the competition, last season’s FA Cup finalists West Ham will travel to defending champions Arsenal, while Liverpool will host Reading.
