Tullis-Joyce backs Man Utd to match Chelsea's level
- Published
Manchester United goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce believes her side are closer than ever to Chelsea as they prepare to meet in the Women's League Cup final.
Holders Chelsea are playing in their seventh successive final on Sunday, while United are in their first, despite reaching the last three FA Cup showpieces.
United lost to Chelsea in two of their three FA Cup finals but beat Tottenham to win their first major trophy in 2024.
But despite Chelsea's superior record against United, Marc Skinner's side currently sit one place and one point above them in the Women's Super League table.
Tullis-Joyce hopes their form this season will show on Sunday when the two sides meet again (14:15 GMT), chasing this season's first piece of silverware.
"In previous games we've held them to 0-0 draws or lost by just 1-0. I think now, with the pieces of the puzzle coming together, we're really building something that [can put us in] title contention," said Tullis-Joyce.
"I can't stress how excited I am for this programme, the players that we've already brought in and how much we can work and understand ourselves even more.
"There's so much room to grow and I think we have so much potential as a squad that we're slowly and surely realising."
