City stepped up preparations on Friday as the build-up intensifies for Sunday's opening WSL home match of the new season against Chelsea.
Gareth Taylor’s side play host to the reigning WSL champions in what will be our first home game of the 2023/24 WSL campaign.
City will welcome Chelsea to the Joie Stadium on Sunday 8 October, with kick-off set for 12:30 (UK).
It’s a mouth-watering prospect that sees two of the WSL’s pre-season title favourites lock horns in what is sure to be a thrilling occasion in front of a sell-out crowd.

The fixture also ties into the Club’s ‘Week of Joie’ celebrations surrounding our first WSL fixture since the historic unveiling of our new Stadium name.
And as our gallery illustrates, the players were in great spirits as they went about their work.
