After a close call mid-week, Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor says his players must 'earn their stripes' when they return to Women's Super League action when they welcome Brighton and Hove Albion to the Joie Stadium on Sunday, November 12.
The Sky Blues saw off Liverpool in a 4-3 victory at Prenton Park on Wednesday night, for midweek Continental Cup action. Filippa Angeldal, Jess Park and Chloe Kelly all found the target to keep City on top in Group B.
Taylor started: “I think there were a lot of really good things [against Liverpool], I thought we showed real glimpses at times. We made quite a number of changes compared to what we did in their first [cup] game against Everton.
“I thought there were some really good parts in the way that we played. Liverpool surprised us a little bit that they didn't come out and engage full pressure as we expected them to, but that's a compliment to us. It gave us a little bit more space than what we’ve had previously.

“I said to the players afterwards we’ve two tough away fixtures in that competition, made lots of changes and to go out and perform the way we did and score the goals that we did and put six points on the board that we did is fantastic.”
However, Women’s Super League action resumes at the weekend as ninth-place Brighton and Hove Albion make the trip north to the Joie Stadium to challenge second-place City in the Joie Stadium fortress.
