The form
Emma Hayes’ side go into the fixture full of confidence having triumphed against Manchester United midweek to progress to the Continental Tyres League Cup final.
Goals from Pernille Harder, Jessie Fleming and Jess Carter saw us cruise past United in an entertaining game to reach the final of the competition for the third time in three years.
Following Wednesday evening’s win the Blues remain unbeaten so far in 2022.City, meanwhile, also head into Sunday’s game in fine form. Gareth Taylor’s side are also unbeaten so far this calendar year, and most recently beat Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-final of the Conti Cup, meaning the Blues will face City again on Saturday 5 March.

The Blues have gone unbeaten in each of our last nine FA WSL matches against City, winning three and drawing six. We won the reverse fixture 4-0 earlier this season at the Academy Stadium with goals coming from Fleming, Sam Kerr, Fran Kirby and Magdalena Eriksson.
Sam Kerr has found the back of the net in each of her last three WSL appearances against City, scoring three times.
