London City Lionesses host Crystal Palace in winner-takes-all Conti Cup fixture

Crystal Palace visit Princes Park for the second time in four days on Wednesday [24 January], with London City Lionesses the hosts for a make-or-break Continental League Cup group stage fixture.



Carolina Morace and her players are hoping to bounce back from defeat on Sunday [21 January], when Hayley Nolan and Elise Hughes sunk the Pride on home soil in the Barclays Women's Championship.


Victory for either side, whether in regulation time or via a penalty shootout, will see them top Group C and advance to the quarter-finals.

  • Crystal Palace 6-1 London City Lionesses (15/10/24)

FORM GUIDE:

The Lionesses, meanwhile, lost in a shootout against Watford, before bouncing back with a 1-0 win over Lewes at the Dripping Pan.
