Nick Cushing has said Manchester City’s performance in their League Cup final defeat on Saturday gives him belief that they can beat Chelsea in the Women’s Champions League on Wednesday, as the teams’ run of four consecutive meetings continues.
Manchester City lost 2-1 in Cushing’s first game back in interim charge, five days after the sacking of Gareth Taylor, and Cushing’s team will now host Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, before a crucial league meeting at the Etihad Stadium on 23 March and then, on 27 March, the reverse leg of their European tie.
