Bardsley and Harding special guests for Arsenal Matchday Live | OneFootball

Karen Bardsley and Tash Harding are your punditry team for a special Matchday Live show covering our Barclays Women’s Super League opener.

City travel down to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal on Sunday 22 September, with kick-off set for 12:30 (UK).

The game pits two of the pre-season title favourites against each other, sandwiched between two-legged UEFA Champions League qualifiers for both sides.

Bardsley and Harding will be there to offer their expert insight from around 11:15, returning for a half-time debrief and more in-depth post-match analysis.

The pair played alongside each other at the Joie Stadium during the 2015 campaign, where City successfully qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time.

Wales international Harding spent one season at the Club, moving on to Liverpool, Reading and Aston Villa before hanging up her boots in 2023.

Bardsley, meanwhile, was an original member of our first-ever professional side and holds the record for the most clean sheets in a City shirt, with 64 from her 103 appearances before she called time on an illustrious career in 2022.
