"There's a mentality shift compared to last season. This season we just need the three points. "Last season we fell short in a couple of the games but this season the mentality is the biggest thing.""
"They've already taken advantage of Chelsea dropping points and now they're top of the table," former City striker Ellen White told BBC Two. "Now it's about staying there.

Manchester City Women have won seven consecutive matches and reclaimed top spot in the Women's Super League after Khadija Shaw's winner against Everton moved them above Chelsea, who drew 1-1 with Arsenal. Shaw is joint-top scorer with five goals. City endured a disappointing 2024-25 campaign, finishing fourth and missing the Champions League, prompting an honest group conversation and a declared mentality shift under new head coach Andree Jeglertz. Since his July arrival City have adopted energetic, high-pressing play, remain unbeaten since their opening-day defeat to Chelsea and have scored 20 goals, the most in the WSL.
