After we ended 2025 on a high with a 9-1 win over Liverpool, advancing to the Women's League Cup semi-finals, the squad headed off on a break for the Christmas period.

The work now begins to prepare for the second half of the campaign as we face fixtures against West Ham United and Arsenal in the Women's Super League, as well as an FA Cup Fourth Round tie versus Crystal Palace and the League Cup semi versus Manchester City, during January.
