Having progressed to the Women's League Cup final with a determined 1-0 win over the Cityzens last week, we now travel to the Etihad Stadium to face City again in a bid to cut the gap at the top of the table.

Our defeat to Arsenal – combined with Man City's win against London City Lionesses – saw the Northern side extend their lead at the top of the WSL table to nine points last weekend, but a victory on Sunday would see us move within six points of our rivals with six matches left to play.

Here is everything you need to know about how to watch Chelsea Women vs Man City, including kick-off time, broadcast details and how to follow the action with Chelsea FC.

The form

Chelsea won the first three matches of 2026 with an aggregate score of 11-0, but lost 2-0 to Arsenal last Saturday at Stamford Bridge.

Meanwhile, Man City have also lost just once since the turn of the year, the 1-0 Women's League Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of the Blues. Meanwhile, an 86th-minute winner from Khadija Shaw handed them a 2-1 win in the aforementioned fixture against London City Lionesses last weekend, seeing them extend their advantage at the top of the standings to nine points.

Recent head-to-head

Chelsea have won six of the last seven meetings with Man City since the start of of the 2024/25 campaign, only losing 2-0 in the first leg of the Women's Champions League quarter-final last season. That result was overturned by our 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge, which saw us progress to the next round of the competition.

We also kicked off our campaign this season with a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge thanks to goals from Aggie Beever-Jones and Maika Hamano, before last week's 1-0 victory at the Joie Stadium.
