This is a Chelsea Women predicted lineup for their clash with Everton Women in the Quarter-Final stage of the Women’s FA Cup. The Blues come into this just days after a hard-fought win over Manchester City which stretched their already thin squad to its limits.

How Chelsea Women Have Lined Up Recently
Hannah Hampton has emerged as the first-choice goalkeeper and her heroics on Thursday won’t soon be forgotten. She has shared the gloves with Zećira Mušović who is a reliable shot-stopper that could play here as Hampton’s passing range may not be needed. The threadbare defence has featured Jess Carter, Nathalie Björn, Niamh Charles, Ève Périsset, and even Sjoeke Nüsken.

The midfield pivot has usually been Erin Cuthbert and Melanie Leupolz with Nüsken and Jelena Čanković playing there as rotation. Čanković has also played as an attacking midfielder with Fran Kirby, Lauren James, Guro Reiten, and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd being the other options.
Mayra Ramirez has been the main striker with Aggie Beever-Jones and Cat Macario replacing her from the bench as rotation options.
Chelsea Women Recent Form and Tactics
Emma Hayes has stuck to a 4-2-3-1 formation which looked more like a 4-4-2 against the Citizens to press their back line. This setup has been successful with the team only losing twice all season and coming off a big result on Thursday to advance to the final of the Conti Cup.

This is a squad that doesn’t concede goals very often, they have only shipped three in their past ten outings. That defensive ability is countered by their attacking output which has led to some really dominant wins like a 5-0 over Sunderland and a 4-0 against Leicester City.
Chelsea Women Absenses to Consider
There are a few players whose status is up in the air ahead of this fixture. Ramirez went off injured in midweek, Millie Bright has not featured in some time despite being back in training, and Maren Mjelde has been absent from the squad. Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence are likely not back from the Gold Cup yet despite Canada’s elimination, Sam Kerr, Mia Fishel, and Aniek Nouwen are all absent for the long term with ACL injuries.
