After drawing their first three games in the WCL, City need to start winning if they want to progress automatically to the quarter-finals.
They begin this set of fixtures 9th in the 18-team league phase, with only the top four guaranteed a spot in the last eight. Teams placed 5th to 12th head into the playoffs.As for Inter, who finished 2nd in Serie A last season, this is another chance to test themselves against the best.
David Sassarini’s side haven’t conceded a goal in domestic football this campaign but shipped six in their last WCL outing away to OL Lyonnes. They can produce an upset on their day, having dumped two-time champions Wolfsburg out in WCL qualifying in September.We’ll hear from Man City’s Kirsten Casparij – she’s been speaking to Suzanne Wrack before this game – ahead of kick-off at 8pm.
There will be updates from the evening’s other games, too, including Chelsea’s early kick-off in Sweden.
