Kerstin Casparij feels Manchester City have their "work cut out" amid a difficult run, but she thinks the team are thriving.

Man City remain unbeaten across all competitions this term, though they had to wait until MD4 to get their first Champions League win of the season.

That arrived in style on Tuesday, as the reigning Women's Super League champions hammered Inter 4-1.

Khadija Shaw was named on the bench as Andree Jeglertz shuffled his pack, and City initially fell behind, but Aoba Fujino netted a first-half brace to pave the way for Casparij and Grace Clinton to put the contest to bed in the second period.

Next up for City is a trip to Chelsea this weekend, which marks a top-of-the-table clash in the WSL, but Casparij feels Jeglertz's team are well placed.

"I think the team feels really great. Two wins on the bounce makes us feel great going into Chelsea, which again will be a tough game," she told Disney+.

"After that, Hacken away will be tough as well and then Tottenham at home.

"We've got our work cut out for us and we know what we need to bring, especially today starting with a few rotations and I think we did phenomenally, so it's a team effort, so I'm very pleased."

City have won just one of their last nine WSL away games against Chelsea (D2 L6), winning 1-0 at Kingsmeadow in February 2024.

Chelsea, like City, are also unbeaten in the WSL this term.

It is the first time two teams are both unbeaten nine games into a WSL campaign since 2020-21 (Chelsea and Manchester United).
