"City is finally finding the success that the individual talent on its roster has long suggested it could. Manager Andrée Jeglertz arrived in the summer and has figured out how to make a cohesive group out of the team's array of super talents, which includes the likes of Bunny Shaw, Vivianne Miedema, Yui Hasegawa, Kerstin Casparij, and Kerolin. City sits atop the WSL table a little over halfway through the season,"
"Chelsea, then, faces an uphill battle as it seeks to extend its WSL winning streak to seven years. The Blues have made a habit of winning just about everything in domestic competition-in the last 10 years, they've got eight league titles, five FA Cups, and four League Cups. (The desperately coveted Champions League trophy, however, remains elusive.) But in Sonia Bompastor's second season at the helm, they've dropped key points to lesser clubs like Everton, Liverpool,"
Manchester City has become a cohesive, high-performing side under manager Andrée Jeglertz, leveraging talent such as Bunny Shaw, Vivianne Miedema, Yui Hasegawa, Kerstin Casparij, and Kerolin. City sits atop the WSL table a little over halfway through the season, six points clear of Chelsea and 10 points ahead of Arsenal with 10 games remaining. Chelsea's decade of domestic dominance includes eight league titles, five FA Cups and four League Cups, but the Champions League remains elusive. Under Sonia Bompastor, Chelsea has dropped points to Everton, Liverpool and West Ham and produced narrower, clunkier wins, indicating a decline in form and reliance on past reputation.
