It’s the third time Chelsea Women and Manchester City will face each other this season, with the previous encounters ending as a draw and then a Citizens win in the Women’s Super League. While the setbacks didn’t end the Blues’ hopes of winning the championship by the end of the season, a defeat in today’s Women’s League Cup semifinal would result otherwise.
So yeah, another one of those “must win” games. If we show up, this challenge can definitely be overcome.
