Gareth Taylor admits the choice to host the Continental Cup final at AFC Wimbledon is a strange one, as he prepares to take his Manchester City Women side to face Chelsea in the showpiece event on Sunday.
City are in London this weekend, looking for their first silverware of the season after a testing campaign that has seen them out of contention for the Women's Super League title following a nightmare start on and off the pitch. Now, with key players back from injury, City have lost just one game in 12 to reach the Continental Cup final against Chelsea — the only side to beat them in that run.
The final will be held at AFC Wimbledon's new Plough Lane stadium, just five miles from Chelsea's home at Kingsmeadow. In fact, Kingsmeadow is the ground where AFC Wimbledon's men's team played until their move back to their historic home of Plough Lane in late 2020.
