The WSL's top two do battle on Friday night as league leaders and reigning champions Chelsea welcome title challengers Manchester City to Kingsmeadow.
The Blues hold a three-point advantage over Friday's opponents, with both sides heading into this fixture in tremendous form. Buoyed by the goalscoring form of Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw, City have won their previous ten games in all competitions. Last weekend, they overcame Arsenal away from home to progress into the quarter-finals of the Women's FA Cup.
Given Chelsea's similarly imperious run, you feel as if City are going to need to win on the road again on Friday if they're to pip Emma Hayes' side to the title and seal their first since 2016.
The Blues have also won their last ten and are competing on multiple fronts heading into crunch time. Hayes' outfit have advanced deep in domestic cup competitions and will also compete in the Women's Champions League knockout stages after cruising through their group.
It's set to be an enthralling WSL encounter on Friday night, and here's preview of the fixture.
