Manchester City meet Chelsea again in the first leg of their Women’s Champions League quarter-final.
This is the second meeting of four between the pair in just 12 days, with this two-legged affair falling either side of a Women’s Super League (WSL) clash and following Saturday’s League Cup final.
Chelsea got the better of their rivals in Derby to secure their first trophy under Sonia Bompastor, though the manager has bigger goals in mind with a possible quadruple still on offer this season.
Manchester City, under new management in the form of a returning Nick Cushing following the departure of Gareth Taylor, will hope to end their tilt for one trophy at least as they target a place in the last four.
Here’s everything you need to know.
The first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie is due to kick off at 8pm GMT on Wednesday 19 March at the Joie Stadium.
Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on TNT Sports 1, with live coverage beginning at 7.30pm GMT. A live stream will be available to subscribers via discovery+, or for free via Dazn’s YouTube channel.
Khadija Shaw and Aoba Fujino have been ruled out of the first leg and are doubts for next week’s second leg due to muscle injuries picked up in the League Cup final defeat to Chelsea. Lauren Hemp and club captain Alex Greenwood remain sidelined.
Naomi Girma, Maelys Mpome, Guro Reiten and Keira Walsh all missed Chelsea’s League Cup final win, with Walsh seemingly the closest of the quartet to a return. Sam Kerr is a long-term absentee.
Manchester City XI: Yamashita; Casparij, Prior, Aleixandri, Ouahabi; Hasegawa, Roord, Miedema; Park, Kerolin, Fowler.
Chelsea XI: Hampton; Bronze, Bjorn, Bright, Baltimore; Cuthbert, Nusken; Rytting-Kaneryd, James, Macario; Ramirez.
Manchester City win 2/1
