With Chelsea Women still having a hard time finding the target with their enormous shot volume in most games, we’ve been left chasing after Manchester City in the Women’s Super League table for most of the current season. We’ve had a reversal but that lasted only a few weeks, with the misfiring Blues once again failing to translate dominant performances into good results.
The hosts at Stamford Bridge arrive at this game without some of their best players. A similar circumstance to the one we found
ourselves last season, when we beat the defending league champions 2-1 in our season debut.

Hampton | Carpenter, Buchanan, Bronze (c), McCabe | Walsh, Potter | Thompson, Kaptein, Baltimore, Malard

Manchester City starting eleven:
