Manchester City midfielder Keira Walsh admits this weekend's encounter with Manchester United will be a "special" occasion for her – but has stressed the focus must be on getting a job done.
A crowd of over 20,000 is expected at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday for the first-ever professional women's Manchester derby as the 2019-20 Barclays FA Women's Super League gets under way.
Walsh, a lifelong City fan, told the PA news agency: "I think all the girls are really looking forward to it.
"He's always put faith in me. So I wanted to repay that and show I do want to be here and play for this club.
"I do need to be more consistent and probably a little bit more prolific in front of goal – start scoring and assisting more goals. That is something I have spoken about with Nick again.
"I am more determined than ever to have a good year for City and put in some good performances for this club."
