With Chelsea Women out of contention in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, their focus is now solely on domestic football. Something that should bode well for our Women’s FA Cup defence as only a sequence of miracles would get us anywhere near the Women’s Super League title.
The road to the FA Cup title is simple: win three more games and the trophy is ours for a second consecutive season. But as Tottenham showed to us earlier this season, it’s much easier said than done.

Chelsea team news: You can’t expect to win every tie you’re in. But losing the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final to Arsenal due to abysmal refereeing on both legs will never not hurt.
To shake this loss off, head coach Sonia Bompastor won’t be able to call upon the talents of Johanna Rytting Kaneryd as the Swedish attacker picked up a calf injury during training. We also have bad news with regards to Aggie Beever-Jones and Millie Bright as both English internationals will only be fit after the upcoming international break.
Tottenham team news: Since beating London City to the Women’s FA Cup quarter-finals on penalties at the end of February, Spurs didn’t win a single game in the entirety of March. They still have a large enough cushion where three straight Women’s Super League losses kept them in the competition’s top five.
One obvious absence for this match is AFC Women’s Asian Cup winner Maika Hamano, as she’s on loan from Chelsea and thus not allowed to play against her parent club. Otherwise manager Martin Ho has no injuries to deal with in the short term.
Previously: Keira Walsh gives us the lead and the winning goal at Kingsmeadow.
