Manchester City end the Women’s Super League campaign with a tie against Everton on Saturday and a win will see the Citizens be undefeated on home soil all season.
The hosts are fourth in the table standings and welcome sixth-place Toffees to the Academy Stadium which has become a fortress of intimidation for any visiting side. Gareth Taylor said: “We create some really good noise here. Support has been great in that respect and trying to create that atmosphere and I think also it's a relaxed atmosphere that we have for the players.
“They're able to go out and be the very best versions of themselves and but equally when we played the big games against the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal here in this stadium, the atmosphere was fantastic.
“They got right behind the team and they were that 12th player that enabled us to really set about in both those games and win the game.
“I’m really proud of that. It's something to take pride in and we want to finish off the job properly tomorrow.”
While both sides are gunning for the win, the three points for either team won’t impact their finish place in the top tier. As it stands, City are three points behind Arsenal but have scored 11 goals less than the Gunners to steal the final Champions League qualification spot. They trail their local rivals Manchester United by nine points and leaders Chelsea by 11.
While Everton sit comfortably above their local rivals Liverpool in a seven-point cushion, yet remain four points behind Aston Villa. “I just think it's a really good game for us. Everton are a team that come out and engage, they always look to try and play from the back, to build and they press - Chelsea saw that.
“I think they were 4-0 down against Chelsea and still coming out
