Andrée Jeglertz preview

“Birmingham have had a great season so far and of course [we’re] fully aware that that it will be a tough game for us, playing away also.

“Teams that are coming with confidence are always tough to beat and they are definitely like that also, so I’m really, really excited about the game and I think that they will definitely challenge us.

“Hopefully, we will own the ball mostly, but at the same time, definitely be aware of transition moments and all details in set pieces and so on.

“So, we can’t drop down any percentage in the game, and definitely that will be a very tough game.”

Opposing manager: Amy Merricks

Amy Merricks was appointed manager in April 2024 and has already enjoyed plenty of highs in just her second full season in charge.

She went incredibly close to guiding Birmingham to the WSL 2 title last season, losing out to London City Lionesses on the final day, but they’re in pole position this year with only a handful of games remaining.

Before her move to Birmingham, Merricks was learning her trade with England as the Head Coach of the Women’s Under-19 team, having also held several coaching roles at different levels at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Previous meeting

You have to go back to May 2022 for our last meeting with Birmingham, and it was a convincing 6-0 home win for City.

It was a hard-fought first half from both sides that saw it level at 0-0 going into the break before City came out and put six past the then-WSL side.

A brace from Georgia Stanway was accompanied by strikes from Lauren Hemp, Alanna Kennedy, Chloe Kelly and Laura Coombs.

Last time out

City recorded an important 3-0 win against Manchester United last time out, completing a WSL double over our neighbours at Old Trafford.

We stormed into a lead thanks to Vivianne Miedema, who headed home twice in quick succession to put us ahead before the break.

It was the least we deserved after an impressive and quick start to the game.

A third from Kerstin Casparij, her first in the Manchester derby, in front of our fantastic away support rounded off what was an enjoyable and important afternoon in the WSL.
