Manchester City manager Gareth Taylor says his side are ready for the task of facing Hammarby in the UEFA Women's Champions League (UWCL) in front of 21,000 Swedish fans.
City will be eager to bounce-back from Saturday's 2-0 loss to Chelsea in the Women's Super League (WSL), and extend their unbeaten run in the Champions League. Taylor said he has been pleased with how his side have trained this week, and all players are prepared for the clash.
Ive been really pleased with the reaction since Chelsea," he explained "The margins were so tight in the game and being able to train for the last couple days has been good. Weve put our thoughts into this game and really make sure we try and finish off on a high."
City managed to get the job done over Hammarby at home last week, winning 2-0 at the Joie Stadium thanks to goals from Laura Blindkilde Brown and Aoba Fujino. The side just need a point from Thursday evening's game in order to secure their place in the competition's quarter-final stages.
"It doesnt stop after that, of course we want to finish top of the group and win every game that we play in this competition because its a fantastic competition," admitted Taylor. "Its been a while since us being there and we are really enjoying the ride at the moment. But that doesnt change that for us its about winning games and going into the international break hopefully on a high.
Despite an impressive effort against Hammarby last week, Taylor said his side's performance gave him lots to reflect on ahead of their reverse fixture on Thursday.
