Manchester City manager Andree Jeglertz insists his team remains unfazed despite their Women's Super League title nearing reality. The Blues hold a commanding nine-point lead at the top of the table and can secure their first WSL crown in a decade with victory over Brighton on Saturday, provided Arsenal loses to Leicester.

City currently sits on 49 points and needs just five more to clinch the championship. Jeglertz acknowledges the team is fully aware of their position but refuses to let potential celebrations distract from their immediate task. "For us, we have to win our game on Saturday and that is where we are," the manager stated.

The Swedish coach admitted there's "extra energy" in his squad as they chase a domestic double. After potentially sealing the league title this weekend, City will face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final on May 10th. The confidence remains high as the squad approaches what could be a perfect season, with preparation continuing as normal despite mounting excitement around a potential championship.
