This is a Chelsea Women predicted lineup for their WSL clash with Everton Women on Sunday, February 16. These two teams met last weekend in the FA Cup with the Blues running out as 4-1 winners after a shock goal directly from a corner kick gave the Toffees the lead. With an international break on the horizon, both teams can go strong for this one.

Erin Cuthbert, Sjoeke Nusken, Wieke Kaptein, and Keira Walsh have been the main starters in defensive midfield. In the advanced positions Sandy Baltimore can play on the wing with Guro Reiten, Lauren James, Cat Macario, Maika Hamano, and Johanna Rytting-Kaneryd fighting it out for those three slots.
Mayra Ramirez is the first choice striker and usually starts with Aggie Beever-Jones offering a rotation option.
Chelsea Women Recent Form & Tactics
Sona Bompastor uses an attacking 4-2-3-1 that at times resembles more of an all-out 4-3-3 especially with Walsh sitting behind the play and often acting as the calming influence allowing her midfield partner to roam a lot more as a box-to-box or additional pressing body in the middle of the park.

Her system is designed to control and dominate games which is exactly what her team have done all season, remaining undefeated in all competitions with only one draw to their name since Bompastor’s arrival. The Blues have only allowed a singular goal against them in 2025, the freak strike scored by Everton last week, meanwhile, at the other end they’ve netted 22 times in that same run.
Chelsea Women Injuries to Consider
The manager confirmed that all of her squad are available albeit that’s likely not including long-term ACL absentees Sam Kerr, Mia Fishel, Sophie Ingle, and Kadeisha Buchanan, and the confirmed absentee Naomi Girma who will be out until after the international break. Zecira Musovic is also out for the time being due to pregnancy.
