Rachel Daly has been key to Aston Villa's strong start after scoring 10 of their 15 goals so far this campaign.

Both sides just playing their way into the game in a quite low-key opening.

Thankfully, Rachel Daly moved back to her feet gingerly after some treatment and is OK to carry on.

Rachel Daly goes down clutching her knee, which is always a worry. The striker collides with Maya Le Tissier on the touchline as she moves the ball forward.

Last time I was here at Old Trafford was for the opening match of the Euros.

Ahh, memories.

We all know how that one played out - what will we see from these two teams today?

The players take a knee before Aston Villa get the game under way.

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Marc Skinner speaking to Sky Sports about their dramatic victory against Arsenal last time out: "The euphoria lasted - it comes and goes after the game. For us, it was about the learning lessons, the psychology of those bigger games with all the fans in the stadium.

"Aston Villa are a good team, so we must make sure we respect and try and put our performance. We try to be the Man Utd team that dictates how we perform and not let the opposition dictate the game to us. That's what I am looking forward too."

Stone Roses classic This is The One is over - that can mean only one thing, it's game time.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa manager Carla Ward speaking to Sky Sports on integrating goalkeeper Hannah Hampton back into the starting line-up: "She is top class. We all know what she is capable of, so I think she's come back in and she's injury-free. I think that is really important for us because she's a top player. We are delighted to have her back here and we know what she's got in her locker. She will be important for us this afternoon.

"It's good to be recognised [nominated as November's manager of the month] and I think it's a credit to the players, staff and all the work that is happening behind the scenes. I think it is a collective achievement."

It's a big day for Aston Villa goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, who returns to the side for the first time for a couple of months.

She was dropped from the England squad amid reports that England coach Sarina Wiegman had left out the then 21-year-old goalkeeper due to a bad attitude.

Hampton later said on social media, external that she was suffering from a medical issue that required a "small procedure".

Aston Villa manager Carla Ward has been speaking about Hampton's return. Let's hear from her.

The players are out on the pitch now. Here is a clip of the Manchester United players arriving earlier. Imagine the goosebumps!

England star Rachel Daly has made a superb start to her Villa career.

She currently sits joint-top of the goalscoring charts in the WSL.

Man Utd better beware as she looks to go out in front in the Golden Boot race.

Aston Villa are in fine form heading to Old Trafford, having won three games on the bounce.

They sit in fifth and can go just three points behind United with a win today.

It will not be easy for the home side.

Warm-ups are well underway, the sun is shining and the tunes are blasting - happy days.

Lionesses goalkeeper Mary Earps just got a huge cheer as she went back down the tunnel after her warm up.

It's filling up nicely here so hopefully we'll have a decent crowd in for this one.

Now for the part I know you're all dying to hear about. The food.

As you would expect I'm being very well looked after here at Old Trafford and a colleague said to me yesterday "don't have breakfast before you go!"

I'm glad I didn't. Hopefully this will warm me up for when I venture out into the press box.

The Red Devils are looking to put on a show in front of a big crowd at Old Trafford, with the club set to smash their previous record attendance of 20,241 for a WSL match, set last season.

Homegrown captain Katie Zelem hopes their impressive form this campaign, which included a stunning 3-2 win against Arsenal at the Emirates in their last match, will boost the attendance.

"There's no bigger advertisement for women's football than to be playing at a huge stadium with a great atmosphere," she said.

"It's not my job to be convincing anyone to come, [but] I think our past results and our form is what people should want to come and watch."

Boss Marc Skinner knows what is at stake, too. Winning by two goals or more will see his third-placed side top the table for a few hours before leaders Chelsea take to the field at the King Power Stadium.

"It's about us taking charge of momentum, it's not something given to us, we have to create it. Regardless of how long ago the Arsenal game was, we have to take that quality into this game too."

Good morning from sunny Manchester!

A glorious day for football and a day for Marc Skinner's side to potentially put themselves at the top of the table and give their title rivals Arsenal something to think about before they take on Everton later on.

Manchester United are playing at Old Trafford for the first time this season and the club have reportedly sold 36,000 or so tickets with more expected on the door.

Old Trafford have even given themselves a new look for the occasion, with giant posters of the women's team plastered across the front of the ground.

BBC Sport's Jess Anderson is at Old Trafford today to soak up the atmosphere on what promises to be a landmark occasion for the WSL side.
