Early Team News 📋

The boss will reveal the City team at 12:00, but he provided the usual squad update during his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon.

Gareth Taylor revealed that Steph Houghton would miss out this weekend after having a scan on an ankle injury sustained in training.

The boss is hopeful that the injury won't keep our captain out for too long, but added that new signing Laura Blindkilde Brown would be in the Matchday squad against the Foxes.

It's Matchday 🙌

Hello and welcome to today's Matchday Centre ahead of City's Barclays Women's Super League clash with Leicester.

Kick-off is set for 13:00 (UK) with the game available to watch live on CITY+.

Gareth Taylor's side know a win would move us to the WSL summit for a few hours at least but, against a Leicester so who pushed us all the way in the reverse fixture back in October, that won't be easy.

This afternoon could also see deadline day signing Laura Blindkilde Brown make her debut for the Club, having trained with the team for the first time on Friday.

Stay tuned for regular updates, stats and analysis across the day!

COME ON, CITY 💙
