Chelsea vs Manchester City match preview
Things could hardly be going much better for Manchester City right now, so will they take a gigantic step towards retaining their Women's Super League title? On Tuesday night, having actually drawn their first three Champions League games, Andrée Jeglertz's team swatted aside Inter Milan 4-1, with Kerstin Casparij and Grace Clinton on target, after Aoba Fujino had scored twice.
Back in the WSL, Man City come into this crucial top of the table clash two points above their hosts, having been almost flawless to date. A week ago, the Sky Blues smashed West Ham 5-0 at Joie Stadium, with Bunny Shaw bagging a hat-trick.
The Citizens have now one all bar one of their WSL matches this season, and they would have a perfect record, were it not for a late equaliser in the Manchester derby. So now, will the champions move five points clear at the top?
As for Chelsea, just when they had drawn level with the leaders, they slipped up. Sonia Bompastor's team had won seven successive league games, prior to last weekend's 1-1 draw when Everton visited West London, failing to win, despite going in front thanks to Sandy Baltimore.
Then, in mid-week, the Blues slipped up in the Champions League, drawing 0-0 with BK Häcken in Göteborg. Amazingly, Chelsea had 32 shots and mustered five big chances, but could not find the breakthrough at the Nordic Wellness Arena.
Thus, Chelsea have lost form just at the crucial time, hence why Manchester City will fancy their chances of extending their lead at the top at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
