Once again, a cup match on the table for Chelsea Women. Win this and we’re through to the Women’s League Cup final match set to take stage at Ashton Gate in Bristol. Lose this and we’re out, with Manchester
City moving forward instead.
Today’s City team arrives in a much better place than the one we beat almost four months ago. It doesn’t mean we no longer have in ourselves the ability to beat them. The challenge is big, but never impossible to overcome.
Manchester City starting eleven:
Yamashita | Rose, Knaak, Greenwood, Casparij, Blindkilde Brown, Hasegawa, Hemp, Clinton, Miedema, Shaw
Substitutes from: Keating, Coombs, Ouahabi, Beney, Prior, Thomas, Murphy, Lewis, Adedini
Chelsea starting lineup (3-5-2?):
Hampton | Girma, Bright (c), Bronze | Carpenter, Cuthbert, Nüsken, Kaptein Baltimore | Thompson, Kerr
Substitutes from: Spencer, Peng, Buurman, James, Reiten, Kaneryd, Potter, Beever-Jones
Date / Time: Wednesday, January 21, 2025, 19.00 GMT; 2:00pm EST
