Go inside the City dressing room to hear the speech delivered by Andrée Jeglertz ahead of our League Cup clash with West Ham United.

The Blues cruised into the semi-finals with a convincing 5-1 win against the Hammers, ending 2025 with a 14-match unbeaten run.

Early goals from Kerolin and Lauren Hemp put City in control inside eight minutes, but the hosts halved the deficit through Riko Ueki.

Our two-goal lead was restored though before the break with a sumptuous Grace Clinton strike, with Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw getting in on the act with number four early in the second half.

The Jamaican rose highest to head home Alex Greenwood’s free-kick to put the result beyond doubt, with Laura Coombs then adding further gloss to the scoreline late on.

Picking up play from Hemp, the midfielder allowed the ball to come across her body before confidently firing into the top corner with a first time, side-footed finish.

It was just rewards for City, who booked a semi-final clash with Chelsea in style.
