Both unbeaten since September, City welcomed Emma Hayes’ side to the Academy Stadium for what promised to be a pulsating encounter.
Just two points separated the sides ahead of the action and, with just seven matches left of the season for City, a positive result would have huge significance on the WSL title race.
A sell-out crowd was expected at the Academy Stadium, with Gareth Taylor‘s side looking to bounce back from an extra time defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup quarter-finals the week before.
Chelsea, meanwhile, were looking to build on a midweek first leg victory over Lyon in the Champions League last eight.
Who would come out on top and give their title prospects a shot in the arm? CITY+ and Recast subscribers can find out or simply relive the action via the video above...
