Manchester City prepare for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie against Chelsea, as the final four are set to be decided.

The UEFA Women's Champions League quarter-finals continue this week after the first legs got underway a few days ago.

Manchester City go into their return match with a crucial 2-0 aggregate in their favour after Vivianne Miedema stunned Chelsea to secure her side the advantage.

During the last week or so, Man City and Chelsea have taken each other on three times in a row, with Thursday's game set to be the fourth encounter on the bounce.

Their first fixture came in the FA League Cup final where Chelsea were 2-1 winners to claim the trophy, then a few days later the UWCL match saw the Cityzens with a two goals to nil win and then in the Women's Super League on the weekend, it was Chelsea who got the upper hand as they achieved a 2-1 victory.

After so much back-and-forth, their final match against each other in this month's hectic quadruple fixture schedule concludes in the Champions League. A win or even a draw would see Man City through to the semi-finals, whereas the Blues must achieve a win better than 2-0 to remain in the competition. An exciting encounter awaits this week, for sure.

There are also three other quarter-final second legs to be played, with the likes of Barcelona, Lyon and Arsenal all involved.
