Manchester City will be hoping to move into a UEFA Women’s Champions League qualification spot by beating Birmingham City at The SportNation.bet Stadium this afternoon in their latest Barclays FA Women’s Super League fixture.
With second-placed club Chelsea not in action this weekend, Gareth Taylor’s side can move above the South West Londoners into the top three with victory in Solihull.
Birmingham City head coach Carla Ward will hopefully have to juggle her limited resources for one final time ahead of the much-needed opening of the January transfer window. The Blues boss will definitely be recruiting next month after having to operate with just 13 fit players at times during the first half of the season.
Lily Simkin is back in training and is nearing fitness while the condition of Harriet Scott is not known. Long-term absentees Heidi Logan, Sarah Mayling and Abbi Grant remain sidelined.
Manchester City head coach Taylor will again be without Megan Campbell, Rose Lavelle and Aoife Mannion for the trip to The Midlands. Scottish international midfielder Caroline Weir could face a late fitness test on her recent hamstring injury.
Birmingham City’s Barclays FA Women’s Super League fixture against Manchester City is scheduled to kick-off at 2pm this afternoon and will be available for fans to stream live on the FA Player.
