Opposition Overview
Our last home game of 2025 happens to be a crucial fixture, as only four points separate London City (6th) and Brighton (7th) heading into this weekend’s game.
The Seagulls finished last year in a record 5th place, with Dario Vidošić taking charge on the south coast last summer and quickly made an impact.
The Australian coach is known for his firm commitment to attacking, possession-based football, a philosophy that produced some of the league’s most eye-catching performances throughout the last campaign.
There will be familiar faces for the travelling side on matchday, with left-back Poppy Pattinson and forward Nikita Parris joining the London City ranks this summer.
The Seagulls have struggled for consistent form in the weeks leading up to this fixture, however recorded a convincing 4-1 win over Leicester City last time out in the Women’s Super League.
London City return from the international break looking to make this their fourth straight win in all competitions, and their fourth straight home win in the Women’s Super League.
