This is the Chelsea Women confirmed lineup for the crucial second leg of their Champions League tie with Manchester City. The Blues enter this one with a 2-0 deficit from the first leg but have won two of the last three clashes with the Cityzens, all of which have happened this month. Both of those were by 2-1 scorelines, one which would see Sonia Bompastor’s side crash out.

Chelsea Women Team News
Hannah Hampton is in goal behind a back line of Lucy Bronze, Nathalie Bjorn, Millie Bright, and Sandy Baltimore. Keira Walsh starts in midfield alongside Erin Cuthbert and Wieke Kaptein. Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Lauren James are on the wings with Mayra Ramirez up front.
Players like Cat Macario, Maika Hamano, Aggie Beever-Jones, Sjoeke Nusken, and Niamh Charles are available to come off the bench and cause problems.
Notable Changes
Kaptein being chosen as the third midfielder is an interesting move, she has looked a little out of sorts before in big matches but she does have enough energy to run the midfield as box-to-box chaos with Cuthbert. It also allows the manager to keep Hamano or Macario as options to come off the bench against tired City legs.
