Manchester City manager Andree Jeglertz has cautioned that Charlton Athletic Women, despite their slow start to the Women’s Super League (WSL) season, remain capable of challenging established teams. City, who have maintained a perfect record so far, are set to face the league’s bottom-placed side, Charlton, in an upcoming fixture.

Charlton have yet to earn a point in their opening three matches, placing them at the bottom of the WSL standings. However, Jeglertz emphasized that the Addicks’ position does not reflect their potential or quality. “All teams that are struggling also know they’re coming into a new game and need to do things better,” he said. “They are in this league because they deserve it. They worked very hard last year and had a great campaign, so it’s a team that will definitely challenge a lot of teams.”

The warning comes ahead of a tough fixture for Manchester City as they look to maintain their unbeaten streak. Meanwhile, London City Lionesses, another ambitious side in the WSL, will be hosting Brighton in another key matchup. The league continues to demonstrate competitive balance, with teams eager to assert themselves despite early-season difficulties.
