Everything about this says it will be a tough match (physically as well as in competition terms) and a tight match. We are a tougher team these days though and this season we've shown that we can drag a winning goal out of somewhere in a close game.
Tobin Heath is going to be out for a while.
Alessia Russo and Lucy Staniforth are getting closer to fitness now.
Lauren James is injured again and Casey says they're going to be cautious about how quickly she can come back.
We've still got the players to beat Reading though, despite the injured attackers. We've got an in form Leah Galton and Ella Toone.
Christen Press looked sharp as well. I'm assuming that she hasn't gone to the US yet. It looks like the UK based players are joining the SheBelieves squad on the 13th. We play City on 12th, so I'm guessing that match was scheduled for the Friday night to help the international players.
City play Arsenal after our match this Sunday. It's going to be a big week in terms of sorting out those top places. Step one though, is we need these three points against Reading.
