"No, our mentality is to fight until the end, no matter what happens. We will never give up. There are nine games left in the WSL. The only thing is that we are not in control of it. Manchester City are leading the table and are in control. We just need to make sure we focus on how we want to perform and to give ourselves a better chance to win. Every game is a must-win game for Chelsea. We will never give up."
"Last season, Chelsea dropped just six points in the WSL all season, drawing three but winning the other 19 of their 22 matches. They won the Women's FA Cup and Women's League Cup to complete an historic, unbeaten treble for Bompastor's side. It helped them on their way to a 34-game unbeaten league run until a shock 1-0 defeat by struggling Everton in December. That came after successive league draws with Liverpool and Arsenal, before a second defeat of the season came at Stamford Bridge last weekend."
Sonia Bompastor retracted earlier suggestion that the WSL title was 'probably over' and insisted Chelsea will never give up. Chelsea trail Manchester City by nine points with nine games remaining and travel to Manchester knowing anything other than a win would all but end title hopes. Chelsea have won six successive WSL titles and completed an unbeaten treble last season, including a 34-game unbeaten league run. A previous public concession by predecessor Emma Hayes preceded a successful comeback to overtake Manchester City on goal difference. Chelsea have recently suffered draws and defeats that opened the gap in the table.
