Chelsea and Manchester City meet for the fourth time in 12 days with the visitors taking a two-goal lead into tonight’s Women’s Champions League quarter-final second leg at Stamford Bridge.
A double from substitute Vivianne Miedema ended Chelsea’s unbeaten season under Sonia Bompastor as City earned some revenge from their defeat to the Blues in the Women’s League Cup final.
Chelsea hit back to beat Nick Cushing’s side 2-1 in the Women’s Super League at the weekend, however, and the final game of this four-game series is arguably the most important yet.
Chelsea’s biggest target this season is winning the club’s first Champions League but they will have to come from behind at Stamford Bridge, as City look to hold onto their lead and reach the semi-finals for the first time.
Here’s everything you need to know:
