“Lately, Kerolin has looked more confident than ever before in a Manchester City shirt and I think almost everybody in this stadium felt certain she would score as she raced through on goal, there. You could almost sense it in her body language.”
Goal! London City 0-1 Manchester City (Kerolin, 11)
The Brazilian continues her form, with a great finish, lovely pass from Miedema, the finish even better.
Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham
Liverpool continue to be impressive and positive. Good signs under the management of Gareth Taylor.
London City 0-0 Manchester City
Oof, Khadija Shaw has just missed what has to be described as a sitter, the chance created by Kerolin’s cross. To be polite, there did look to be a bobble.
Aston Villa 0-0 Manchester United
United, who reached the League Cup final this week, look to steal a march on that top three situation.
Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham
At St Helens, Liverpool make a bright start, with Alice Bergström (Liverpool Women) hitting the bar with a left footed shot.

London City 0-0 Manchester City
Michele Kang, the London City Lionesses owner, is here in Bromley for this chilly and gloomy-looking Sunday under thick grey grounds, barely 48 hours after hosting a press conference in sunny Los Angeles. But this is a game clearly not to be missed. The visitors have been the best team in the league so far this season and they have a chance to go nine points clear at the top today. The travelling fans I spoke to outside of the ground this morning were all in a buoyant mood after Chelsea’s defeat yesterday, and the Manchester City fans are chanting ‘City, City, City’ – a highly original tune and set of lyrics, it has to be said – in the early stages of this game.
London City 0-0 Manchester City
Asllani has a shot on goal, the first effort of the game. London City have started well.
We are go in the WSL, four matches to look after. At London City, the home team pass the ball around.
It’s a chilly day in Bromley, slate grey skies as the teams take to the field.
Manchester City manager Andree Jeglertz spoke to Sky Sports: “We have a great opportunity but at the same time, we play a very strong team today. They will challenge us 100% and we need maximum effort to get that result.”

Here’s the reason Manchester City have to win at Bromley today.
Preamble
After Arsenal defeated Chelsea on Saturday, this becomes a huge Sunday for leaders Manchester. A win in the capital will stretch out their lead at the top of the WSL to nine points, and mean the title is surely headed to the Etihad Campus. Tottenham can climb into the top three reckoning by beating bottom club Liverpool. Same goes for Manchester United at Villa. West Ham can do themselves a favour by winning at Leicester.
