Player to watch: Khadija Shaw
Man City's Jamaican forward Khadija Shaw scored both goals as the Citizens came from a goal down to win 2-1 at Liverpool over the weekend and we have highlighted the 27-year-old as our player to watch against St Polten.
Shaw is in great form right now with ten goals in her last ten appearances in all competitions for Manchester City women, so don't be surprised if she adds to her goal tally on Wednesday night.
Shaw was the heroine for the Citizens at the weekend
Man City are the big favourite to win in Austria and we're backing Shaw to play a big part in the Super League side securing another Champions League win this week.
