Three Players and a Podcast: How friendly can you be with your opposition?
Arsenal's Jen Beattie and Everton's Izzy Christiansen discuss the difficult balance between friendship and rivalry in women's football with former Lioness Rachel Yankey on Three Players and a Podcast.
The setting for the recent WSL game between Manchester United and Aston Villa was Old Trafford and saw players from both teams socialising ahead of the game at the famous ground.
The new Sky Sports podcast - in which three women's football stars talk discuss three hot topics - started with the question 'is there rivalry in the women's game?'
"I think the game has evolved," said Everton midfielder Christiansen. "I feel like there's that mutual professional respect across friends across the league that players probably don't talk prior to the game but just always catch up after."
WSL chiefs to reopen talks about external funding
Top football executives are to kick off a fresh search for external funding for the Women's Super League (WSL) amid soaring domestic and international interest in the sport.
Sky News has learned that the WSL board is close to re-engaging bankers at Rothschild to canvas investor interest in the league's commercial rights.
Sources said the WSL could potentially seek as much as £100m in outside financing to fund the development of the competition and the broader women's game.
Rothschild's reappointment - more than 18 months after it was asked by the WSL and Football Association to explore funding options for the league - comes as attendances at WSL matches reach unprecedented heights.
