A lot has been written about the battle at the top of the Premier League and the likelihood of Liverpool finishing in second place with more than 90 points. That two teams have kept pace and driven each other to the limit is hugely impressive. And as a result many a comment piece has lamented the misfortune of the Merseysiders’ bid for a first league title in 29 years. But when we are discussing teams that have run out of luck, spare a thought for Manchester City women.

Should they slightly dampen the party on the final day at Borehamwood, City would complete their second undefeated season, having achieved the feat in 2016 on the way to their first and only league title.
