Sheffield United are warned by Manchester City goalscorer

Bremer, who has claimed nine goals in her last eight Super League outings, is among a host of star names expected to feature for the Continental League Cup holders when they face Carla Ward’s side in the quarter-finals of the competition tonight. (Kick-off 7.30pm).

England’s Steph Houghton, Ellen White and Jill Scott could all appear for the visitors at the Proact Stadium and, hailing City’s experience, Bremer said: “As a team, we’ll stick together and play this season for everything. We can manage it.

“We all now how to play football so it shouldn’t be a big break in the team. We’ll stick to what we usually do and hopefully keep on winning.”

City travel to Derbyshire on the back of WSL wins over Everton, Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur; scoring 12 times and conceding only twice since losing to Chelsea last month.

United remained second in the FA Women’s Championship when they were controversially edged out 1-0 by leaders Aston Villa last weekend; with many observers claiming the goal should have been disallowed for offside.

Cushing, who is set to become Ronnie Deila’s assistant at City’s partner club New York City, said: “It’s going to be tough over the next four weeks but the players have shown how professional they are.

“We planned for a tough game against Everton and went on to win and now it’s on to Sheffield United because we want to get into the semi-finals of the Continental Cup.”
