Alan Mahon preview

“It’s a massive game. We’ve put ourselves in this position, they’re a top team and we are, and these are the games you need to win if you’re going to be there or thereabouts.

“We’re not gonna put everything on it and say if we lose it then that’s the end of it, but we have to try and make sure we hold ourselves accountable on the day and try to get a result.

“I’ve been here a while now and it’s not about me trying to be clever. It’s about continuity and simplicity. Nothing was broken so we carry on with the process we have to prepare for Sunday.”

Last time out

Pauline BremerJess Park and Georgia Stanway all scored hat-tricks as City’s defence of the Women’s FA Cup continued with a magnificent 10-0 win over Ipswich Town at the Academy Stadium.

The result sees City safely through to the quarter-finals of the competition for the seventh-consecutive year - and it’s now two wins from two for interim boss Alan Mahon.

Last meeting

A late Chelsea fightback condemned City to our second FA Women’s Super League defeat of the season.

Goals from Bethany England and Maren Mjelde in the final 12 minutes snatched all three points for the Londoners, after Caroline Weir had opened the scoring with a fantastic volleyed finish.

The defeat – a bitter pill to swallow for a battling defensive display – halted City’s five-game winning streak, marking just Chelsea’s second league victory over Nick Cushing’s side in 12 attempts.
