Andrée Jeglertz preview
The City boss addressed the media on Thursday afternoon and he said he’s hopeful that Niamh Charles will make her debut on Saturday.
“I definitely hope that Niamh Charles can be back,” said Jeglertz.
He was also asked for his thoughts on our opponents and although they are yet to get any points on the board they will no doubt prove a major threat.
“I think all teams that are struggling from the last games they also know they are coming into a new game and they need to do things better.
“I have the highest respect for Charlton and even what they have done so far with their results they are in this league because they deserve it.
“They worked very hard last year and had a great campaign to reach this league and they are a team that will challenge a lot of teams.”
Previous meeting
You have to go all the way back to 2012 to see the last competitive match between the two as we faced each other in what was then named the FA Women’s Premier League.
The tightly contested game ended in a 4-4 draw with Sarah Buffel, Sarah Danby, Chelsea Nightingale and Lynda Shepherd on the scoresheet for the Blues.
Last time out
City left it late in another entertaining performance at the Joie Stadium as we came away with a 4-2 victory.
Grace Fisk’s 90th-minute own goal and a Lauren Hemp effort deep into added time maintained our 100% start in the WSL this season.
It had looked like we’d have to settle for a point as stoppage time approached, with Hemp’s early effort cancelled out by Alice Bergstrom and Vivien Endemann strikes in an end to end first 45.
Bunny Shaw bundled home an equaliser from close-range on the stroke of the break having hit the post earlier in the half, with a dramatic turnaround then completed late on.
