Man City were Chelsea's biggest Women's Super League title rival, but three defeats in four league games leaves them 12 points off the Blues and outside of the Champions League places
The Cityzens have lost three of their last four league games, leaving them 12 points off the leaders and outside the European places
Manchester City's final game before the Women's Super League winter break could have sparked this season's title race into life. It came a day after, thus presenting the Cityzens with the chance to close the gap on the leaders to three points. Beat Everton, who had picked up just one league victory all season, and City would be right there on the tail of the Blues, despite the champions' near-perfect start.
"Of course, it's a blow," head coach Gareth Taylor said after that defeat. "You never want to lose games against teams you're competing with for those places, but that's our objective now, to be in the qualification places at the end of the season.
