Chelsea Women leave th epitch following win over Twente

Chelsea Women Predicted Lineup vs Leicester Women for December 14

This is a Chelsea Women predicted lineup for their Women’s Super League clash with Leicester City which is the early kick-off on Saturday. The Blues are coming off a win over FC Twente and are lacking in numbers, especially in defence which could prove costly if their opponents are up for a fight.

Cat Macario, Maika Hamano, Johanna Rytting-Kaneryd, Guro Reiten, and Aggie Beever-Jones have started on the wings. Macario and Beever-Jones have also started as the striker in place of Mayra Ramirez whenever she doesn’t start.

Chelsea Women Recent Form and Tactics

Sonia Bompastor remains true to her attacking 4-2-3-1 which has got her a perfect record so far. Her team are scoring goals for fun against any opposition and have looked defensively solid at times, although they do concede some silly goals.

With a win here, Bompastor would head into the winter break undefeated in the league, a great start for the former Lyon coach and Champions League winner. There is still a tie with Real Madrid to come in midweek but the Blues have already qualified for the next stage of the competition.

Chelsea Injuries to Consider

The pre-match Press conference confirmed that the team are light on numbers. The injured list now counts Sam Kerr, Mia Fishel, Aniek Nouwen, Sophie Ingle, Lauren James, Sandy Baltimore, Maelys Mpome, Kadeisha Buchanan, and Oriane Jean-Francois (whose status is up in the air).

Chelsea Women Predicted Lineup

Assuming there are no other secret injuries being kept under wraps (always a possibility for Chelsea Women) this is the predicted lineup:

GK – Hannah Hampton

LB – Niamh Charles

CB – Millie Bright

CB – Nathalie Bjorn

RB – Lucy Bronze

DM – Erin Cuthbert

DM – Sjoeke Nusken

AM – Maika Hamano

W – Johanna Rytting-Kaneryd

W – Guro Reiten

ST – Mayra Ramirez
