The form

The Blues were last up on Friday night getting our FA Cup campaign off to a great start with a big 5-0 victory over London City Lionesses with goals from Niamh Charles, Jess Carter, Melanie Leupolz and a double from Drew Spence.

Charles opened the scoring just after the 20-minute mark with an assist from Hannah Blundell. Carter doubled our advantage just before the half-hour mark, volleying home a corner from Charles. Just three minutes later, Leupolz struck the Blues' third of the night into the top corner to end the first half at 3-0.

In the second half, we added a fourth with Charles picking out Spence who tapped home from close range. The No.24 then grabbed her second of the evening with substitute Bethany England providing the assist as Spence guided a first-time finish into the bottom corner to make it five, taking the Blues comfortably into the fifth round of the Women’s FA Cup.

Manchester City are on top form going into the title race clash, sitting second in the WSL just two points behind the Blues. They most recently won their opening FA Cup tie with an 8-0 win over Aston Villa. In the Women’s Super League, they last faced Spurs with a 0-3 victory away, having won their last five WSL matches.

City were recently knocked out of the Women’s Champions League, losing to Barcelona in the quarter-finals, 2-4 on aggregate.

Manchester City V Chelsea Women recent head-to-head record

The Blues have faced City three times this season and have taken the win on all three meetings. Chelsea most recently faced City at the Academy Stadium at the end of January with a show stopping 2-4 victory in the Continental Cup.

Our last WSL encounter came in October with Chelsea winning the match 3-1 at Kingsmeadow.

The first clash of the season came back in August when the two sides faced each other at Wembley Stadium for the final of the Community Shield. Emma Hayes side enjoyed a 2-0 win to take the trophy home back to Kingsmeadow.
