The Women’s Super League leaders face
Chelsea on Sunday with both teams on course for the Champions League
Who says
Manchester City will not be in the
Champions League next season? And who on earth claims they cannot win the title this spring? Alan Mahon’s City women are not only exempt from the European ban clouding Pep Guardiola’s horizon but sit top of their table, one point ahead of Chelsea and three in front of the defending Women’s Super League champions, Arsenal.
Given that Chelsea have a game in hand on City, much hinges on their trip north to the Academy Stadium on Sunday. Emma Hayes’s side have not lost in the WSL this season and, having defeated the leaders 2-1 at Kingsmeadow in December, are approaching the subplot-rich rematch in confident mood.
