Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor says playing Chelsea is "more than just another game".

The Women's Super League's top two sides are separated by one point heading into Saturday's game, though Chelsea have a game in hand.

"There is no denying these games are really important," Taylor said.

"I wouldn't undermine any other game that we play in the WSL because the margins are so tight as we have seen. For us it’s a good game, I'm looking forward to the challenge."

Taylor is relishing a new battle on the touchline as he comes up against Sonia Bompastor for the first time.

"I have met her on a couple of occasions. I have to say she is impressive," he said.

"She is very engaging, very warm and both of us will be trying not necessarily kicking lumps out of each other on the sideline, but we will be trying our very best to help our teams to be successful on Saturday.

"I’ve been pretty impressed with her. We both understand on Saturday we both have a job to do to help our teams to win."
