London City team news: The Lionesses have had some trouble adapting to the realities of Women’s Super League football after winning the Championship last season. At the very least they are 10 points ahead of last-place Leicester City in the relegation spot.
Head coach Eder Maestre, who joined the club in January after the sacking of Jocelyn Prêcheur, has a mostly clean slate for injuries with only attacker Corinne Henson out of contention with a thigh problem. Otherwise his team is yet another one affected by the AFC Women’s Asian Cup final since Australian centre-back Alanna Kennedy and Japanese midfielder Saki Kumagai are with their respective national teams, who will clash for the title this Saturday morning.
