Albion head to Manchester City on Friday night looking to secure their first win of the WSL season, kick-off 7.30pm.

The game will be live on Sky Sports, as Dario Vidosic's team aim to build on their opening day draw with Aston Villa.

Dario's thoughts

Vidosic confirmed there were no fresh injuries ahead of the game against City.

The Australian expects his team to improve on their draw with Villa, although overall he was pleased with the point.

"In general, the feeling is that we could have done more and we obviously wanted to win the game, so we are frustrated with that.

"But then on the flip side there are also a lot of positives. We kept the clean sheet. I think we should take that into the next game. We want to build that confidence from the clean sheet, we are pleased with that."

City lost their opening game of the WSL campaign to Chelsea. The Blues went 2-0 up before a Niamh Charles own goal with 20 minutes to play threw City a lifeline, although in the end they weren't able to take anything from the game.

Match stats

Manchester City have won 11 of their 13 Women's Super League meetings with Albion (D1, L1), with only Arsenal inflicting more defeats on the Seagulls than the Cityzens.

Albion have three of their last four WSL away games against Manchester City, but were 1-0 victors at the Joie Stadium in the 2023-24 season.

Albion goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie kept a clean sheet on her WSL debut on MD1 against Villa, and could become just the second goalkeeper across the last five seasons to record a shutout on both of her first two appearances in the competition (after Phallon Tullis-Joyce in September 2024).
