It may be only the fourth round of fixtures in the Barclays Women's Super League, but Manchester City ’s title charge is in danger of being shelved before it has even begun.
Despite trouncing bottom-club Leicester 4-0 last Sunday, City boss Gareth Taylor is under pressure to take maximum points from their clash in the capital with Tottenham, the first of six intriguing WSL match-ups this weekend.
After falling to defeat against champions Chelsea two weeks ago, Taylor admitted four defeats are the most a title-chasing team could feasibly allow. And if last year’s third-place finishers suffer a reverse at the hands of a resurgent Spurs side, it will be three from their opening four matches.
