City head into the clash off the back of a five-star performance as Gareth Taylor’s side beat Liverpool 5-1 in the Barclays Women’s Super League to keep us second in the league standings and within touching distance of leaders Chelsea.
Our opposition, however, will travel to the Joie Stadium looking to make amends for their 3-1 league loss at Chelsea on Sunday.
