Despite being at the forefront of the women's game since being placed into the WSL in 2014, Manchester City have claimed English football's biggest prize just once in that time.
The 2016 squad that surged to WSL success was one of the finest in the league's history, with City's forward thinking attitude to women's football seeing them attract a number of high-profile England players - resulting in an unbeaten season.
Such was the strength of that 2016 team, three members have since been picked off by Lyon, the greatest club side in the women's game.
