Manchester City meet Chelsea again in the first leg of their Women’s Champions League quarter-final.
This is the second meeting of four between the pair in just 12 days, with this two-legged affair falling either side of a Women’s Super League (WSL) clash and following Saturday’s League Cup final.
Chelsea got the better of their rivals in Derby to secure their first trophy under Sonia Bompastor, though the manager has bigger goals in mind with a possible quadruple still on offer this season.
Manchester City, under new management in the form of a returning Nick Cushing following the departure of Gareth Taylor, will hope to end their tilt for one trophy at least as they target a place in the last four.
Here’s everything you need to know.
