Derby clash is 'too early' for City manager

Hopefully, we can put in a similar performance because we were top class in the home game."

That is the verdict of City Women manager Gareth Taylor, who is preparing the Blues for a second meeting with rivals United in as many weeks today.

The Blues were victorious in the Women's Super League two weeks ago thanks to another Caroline Weir wonder strike that kept their hopes of beating United to a Champions League place alive.

Reds boss Marc Skinner promised more aggression in individual battles for this cup clash that represents an early chance to put that defeat right.
