Manchester City vs Chelsea: WSL preview
The top two sides in the league last met in the league on the opening weekend of the season, when Sonia Bompastors Chelsea edged Manchester City 21.
Since then, City have not lost a game in the league and come into this fixture nine points clear of the reigning champions and seeking a 13th successive league victory.
Chelsea did beat City 10 in the League Cup semi-final less than two weeks ago, but that result was followed by a damaging defeat to Arsenal last weekend in a setback that significantly boosted Citys title hopes.
A narrow win over London City Lionesses subsequently allowed Manchester City to obtain a nine-point advantage and move ever closer to a second league title, their first coming 10 years ago.
A victory at the Etihad would further underline Andree Jeglertz's impressive first season in charge and extend the gap to a level that would leave Chelseas hopes of a comeback looking all but impossible.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea
A draw between the two heavyweights, which will be enough for Manchester City to put one hand on their first title in a decade.
