Training: Up for the Conti Cup

The best images as Gareth Taylor’s side prepare for matchday one in the 2022/23 FA’s Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup.

City welcome Blackburn Rovers to the CFA on Wednesday night as we look to regain our title after seeing off Chelsea by three-goals-to-one in last year’s final.

Two goals from Caroline Weir and one from England legend Ellen White saw us lift the trophy for the fourth time in our history.

We have won our last two games in the WSL, overcoming Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur respectively.
