Sam Kerr has fended off all competition for the starting striker spot.
Chelsea Women Recent Form and Tactics
A 4-2-3-1 has been the standard setup for Emma Hayes this term although it has occasionally shifted to a 4-1-4-1 which stands out as more of an attacking 4-3-3. They have also set up with a back three on occasion but it’s a rarely seen formation.
