It has been a summer of change at Man Utd. Casey Stoney left the club early in the summer, with former Birmingham City Women manager Marc Skinner appointed in her place.
Despite the departure of Lauren James, Tobin Heath and Christen Press in the summer, there have been good additions to the squad as they prepare for a new era under a new coach.
Skinner is looking to help United mount a title challenge after they finished fourth - 10 points behind champions Chelsea - last season. Breaking the hold of the 'top three' would also secure Champions League football next season.
But they come up against a Reading side who are seasoned in the WSL. Last year, they finished in seventh on 24 points - 23 points behind United.
This summer saw them lose key midfielders Fara Williams and Angharad James, but have done some solid business of their own as they look to push further up the table in the current campaign.
