City have a seven-point lead over defending champions Chelsea with five games remaining in the league. They have not won the WSL title for a decade and if they were to be successful, it would end Chelsea's six-year stranglehold on the league.

"So far, no distraction I would say. I don't know how much our players are reading. Inside our group we don't speak much about it," said Jeglertz.

"I haven't seen any players being stressed or anything about it. It's pretty calm. This is also what we want.

We can't be nervous or stressed by this. "This is what every day has been fighting for from the first day we got here - to be able to win the league. Now we are in a great position, so it's handling that pressure in a good way.
