Manchester City’s quest for the Women’s Super League title hinges on near-perfect performances, according to their captain Steph Houghton. The team sits in second place behind Chelsea, who have claimed four consecutive titles.
With two league losses already, history suggests there is little room for error if they are to clinch the top spot. Houghton expressed confidence in her squad and acknowledged that while they’ve had disappointing results, such as their 1-0 defeat at home to Brighton, their subsequent performances have shown promise.
Manager Gareth Taylor has previously stated the importance of remaining unbeaten throughout the rest of the season to secure victory. As City prepares for their upcoming Women’s FA Cup match before resuming league play against Liverpool, Houghton remains focused on taking each game as it comes and believes consistent excellence could lead them to triumph over a dominant Chelsea side.
