Wednesday evening sees the second round of the Continental League Cup fixtures and Manchester City are at home to Blackburn Rovers. City enter the competition as champions for a fourth time, having beaten Chelsea 3-1 in last season’s final at Kingsmeadow.
But, it is the first time these two teams will face each other in a competitive fixture. Blackburn Rovers are currently 10th in the Championship, a step below the Women's Super League, and head into the game as winners of a 3-2 tie against Coventry United.
In the cup standings, Blackburn sit bottom on goal difference, having lost their first round 3-0 against Leicester at home. Rovers sit below Sunderland who only lost one-nil to Liverpool.
