GK UNION 🧤
City's goalkeeper's have made our way onto field for warm-ups.
The rain is lashing down at the Joie Stadium at present which has prompted Katie Startup to jog across the box immediately to preserve some warmth.
Our devoted supporters are also making their way into the ground at present and braving the conditions.

ANALYSIS 🔎
Gareth Taylor has made six changes from the team who started mid-week's victory over St Polten.
Ayaka Yamashita returns in goal and is protected by a defence of Casparij, Aleixandri, Greenwood and Ouahabi.
Hasegawa is at the base of our midfield with Jess Park and Jill Roord.
And Bunny returns to the lead the line with Lauren Hemp on the left and Mary Fowler on the right.
