Gareth Taylor press conference: Manchester City vs Aston Villa preview

Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor has been speaking to the media before Sunday’s Women’s Super League game against Aston Villa (kick-off 12:15 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

  • On Vivianne Miedema’s fitness, Taylor said: “We don’t think it’s an issue that’s going to keep her out for her two long”.

  • Taylor said Wednesday’s 3-2 win over St Polten in the Women’s Champions League showed the “character” of the team.

  • He said it’s been a “good start” to the season with six straight wins despite thinking that City “couldn’t have had much more of a difficult start”.

  • “The players have fire in their bellies and intensity in their manner,” Taylor said when asked if he could see a difference from last season within his team.

  • Aston Villa have “quality in the top end of the pitch” and “good options in back line”.

  • He said Villa forward Rachel Daly is “always really difficult to play against”.

  • Taylor said there is “never a good time” for international breaks but that he said the removal of the September international window was a “big improvement”.
