How Chelsea Women Have Lined Up Recently

Hannah Hampton has been the goalkeeper of choice in every match despite the relatively poor run of form. The back four welcomed back Millie Bright and has featured Jess Carter, Kadeisha Buchanan, Niamh Charles, Ashley Lawrence, and Ève Périsset.

Erin Cuthbert, Fran Kirby, Sophie Ingle. Melanie Leupolz, and Sjoeke Nüsken have featured in the midfield. Maika Hamano, Aggie Beever Jones, Cat Macario, Lauren James, Mayra Ramirez, and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd have featured in attacking roles.

Chelsea Women Recent Form and Tactics

Emma Hayes has set her team up in a number of tactical setups with a 3-5-2, 4-3-3, 4-4-2, and 4-2-3-1 used as necessary. Despite this tactical versatility the season has slightly nosedived with only two wins in their last six leaving them in danger of ending the season trophyless.

Defensively, questions have arisen about the team after conceding four to Liverpool, they also failed to keep clean sheets against Barcelona, Arsenal, and Manchester United. This has coincided with a slight dip in scoring output but they have scored three in back-to-back WSL games which is a positive indicator that they can still make up ground on goal difference to the Citizens.

Chelsea Women Injuries to Consider

There has been no word from Hayes on team news but Sam Kerr, Aniek Nouwen, and Mia Fishel are all certain to remain sidelined with ACL injuries. There are doubts over Lauren James, Mayra Ramirez, Leupolz and Jelena Čanković who weren’t in the squad at all for the loss to the Reds.
