Manchester City will aim to trim the gap on Women's Super Leagueleaders Chelsea when they host Liverpool this Sunday afternoon in their first league fixture of the year.
These two sides previously locked horns in the FA League Cup group stage showdown, which was an entertaining 4-3 scoreline in City's favor. The Citizens currently sit in second place in the WSL with 22 points to their name, three points behind Chelsea and the same amount of points as Arsenal in third.
With Chelsea facing Manchester United in an early Sunday lunchtime kick-off, this weekend may offer them a chance to make up some ground on the reigning champions in the event of any slip-up from the Blues.
As for Liverpool, they are in fifth place in the league table, four points behind their Sunday's opponent's, and will be hoping to pick up where they left off following a relatively successful first half of the 2023/24 campaign, which included a victory over rivals Manchester United in their most recent WSL outing.
