Four back-to-back fixtures between the two teams, played at four different grounds: Derby’s Pride Park hosted the League Cup final, Manchester City’s Academy Stadium will be the venue for their home quarter-final leg, the WSL match is being played at the Etihad, and Stamford Bridge will be the location for the second leg.

Manchester City have the advantage in a pulsating Women's Champions League quarter-final tie as they inflict a first defeat of the season on Chelsea.

On a much better pitch condition than the one we had in Derby for the Women’s League Cup final, we expected Manchester City and Chelsea Women to bring their A-game. This is pretty much what they did in the first minutes of the match where our midfields clashed horns with one another in search of ball possession and bringing the ball forward.
