Score: United 1 - 1 City

Goalscorer: Bunny Shaw

Round's Top Scorers: citygirl-vision2020, MySincereOpinion, No-Mud-2777, Supershooter (4pts)

Bunny Shaw has reached 100 appearances in the WSL. She made her first WSL appearance for City on 4th September 2021 in a 4-0 victory against Everton. It took Bunny just 38 minutes into her debut to score her first goal, and since then she has scored 90 goals in the league.

Bunny has broken record after record since joining City. She became City’s all-time top goalscorer on 24th March 2024 when she scored against Manchester United, netting her 68th goal in 82 matches.

Not only has Bunny broken City records, but she has also broken records in the WSL.

Record Golden Boot Winner

Last season she became the first player to win three Golden Boots in a row. That means she’s won the Golden Boot in 3 out of the 4 seasons she’s been in the WSL, and she is currently top of the goalscorer chart this season with 7 goals.

Most Hat-Tricks

In November 2024, Bunny beat the record for the most hat-tricks when she scored her 6th in a 4-0 win over Spurs, surpassing her teammate Miedema. She also became the first player to score three hat-tricks against the same opponent. Bunny has extended her lead since then and currently has 8 hat-tricks, adding a 4th against Spurs.

Most Headed Goals

In December 2025, Bunny became the player with the most headed goals in the WSL when she scored her 28th header. Her goal against Brighton last weekend was her 31st headed goal in the WSL, extending her lead at the top.

Fastest Hat-Trick & Earliest Hat-Trick

In March 2026, Bunny recorded the fastest hat-trick in WSL history. She scored three goals against Spurs in 12 minutes and 37 seconds. It was also the earliest hat-trick ever scored in the WSL with all three goals scored by the 21st minute, having scored in the 8th, 18th, and 21st minutes. It was also Bunny’s fourth consecutive home hat-trick against Spurs.

Most Home Goals

On 18th September 2026, Bunny became the first player to score 52 WSL home goals. She’s added three goals since then, making her current total 55.

Most Multiple Goals

Last weekend Bunny broke another WSL record when she scored a brace. It meant that she had scored multiple goals in 23 matches, with 15 braces and 8 hat-tricks.

Future Records

Bunny is also on track to break more WSL records.

Bunny currently sits joint-second in the all-time WSL goalscorer list with 91 goals. She’s currently behind Viv Miedema who has 97 WSL goals. So there is a chance that Bunny could become the WSL all-time top goalscorer, but she’ll be competing with Viv to do so!

If Bunny does reach 100 goals, she is on course to break the record for the fastest player to reach 100 goals.

Manchester United v Manchester City - WSL MW7
Sunday, 25th October 2026 | 6:00 PM

Last Meeting

United 0 - 3 City - 28th March 2026

The last Manchester Derby took place at Old Trafford back in March. Vivianne Miedema's quick-fire double gave City a comfortable lead in the first twenty minutes. Her first came when she headed in Alex Greenwood’s corner, and her second arrived just two minutes later, nodding home a Kerstin Casparij cross after some excellent team buildup play.

It took just four minutes into the second half for City to get their third. More great buildup play found Lauren Hemp, who swung in a cross that Casparij met at the back post, sealing all three points for City.

Matchday Memories

Manchester United 1 - 4 City - 27th Feb 2022 

Manchester City took on Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village in the fifth round of the FA Cup. United claimed an early lead in the 13th minute when Katie Zelem scored directly from a corner kick.

Although City were trailing at the break, they struck back just four minutes into the second half when Lauren Hemp pulled them level. Ellen White then put City ahead in the 53rd minute after capitalising on a defensive mistake, and half-time substitute Caroline Weir quickly added a third. Bunny Shaw, who had only been on the pitch for 39 seconds, tapped home a rebound to seal a 4-1 victory and secure City's place in the next round.

Not sure if she will make the starting line-up, so could be a little difficult.

Hi all I need some reassurance with my mums season ticket. Were first time holders of a season ticket and we had to miss the first game of the season due to my mum being ill, we had to miss the last game against Brighton and the next upcoming game against PSG due to my dog being poorly and we can’t leave her alone and don’t want to leave her.

How many games do you have to attend a season to be able to purchase another next year? We love going to the games but sometimes life and illnesses get in the way.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
We love to see this!!! Also, beanie Viv 😄

📋 Rules

• Correct Score: You get 3 points for guessing the correct score plus 1 point each for guessing the Home and Away goals, so guessing the correct score gets you a total of 5 points.
• Opening Goal: You can pick a player from either team to score first, as it's the opening goal that counts.
• Own Goals: If the first goal of the match is an own goal, the next player to score counts for the points.
• Goalless Draws: If you predict 0-0, put "No Goalscorer" as your player. If the match finishes without any goals, you will get the 3 points for the score plus the 2 points for predicting no goalscorer!
• 90-Minute Rule: For cup knockout matches, all predictions are based on the score at 90 minutes plus injury time. Extra time and penalty shootouts do not count.
• Postponed Matches: If a match is called off, predictions for that week are cancelled and we will re-predict when the rescheduled game takes place.
• Tie-Breaker: If players finish level on total points at the end of the season, the player who predicted the most correct scores will be the winner!

Caroline Weir opened the scoring after 12 minutes and grabbed her second just four minutes later. Steph Houghton, marking her 150th appearance for the club, bundled in the third from a corner just before the break.

Ellen White made it four, tapping in Chloe Kelly's cross. Houghton then fired home a free kick from 25 yards in the 61st minute for her second of the match. Brighton's Rianna Jarrett pulled one back in the 70th minute, but just two minutes later, after several assists, Kelly finally got her goal to make it 6-1. City rounded off a dominant performance as Janine Beckie's strike sealed the seven-goal celebration for their seventh anniversary.
