Chelsea Women have mostly come out on top of Manchester City in their meetings this season. However they had their first ever defeat of the season in this very matchup a week ago, when our opponents tonight beat us 2-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter final.

Turning around such a disadvantage won’t just be a major boon to our spirits. It will also be a statement of how far this team can go despite any adversities they face.
