This is the Chelsea Women confirmed lineup for their Women’s Super League clash with Manchester City Women. The two sides are currently embroiled in a four-match series across three competitions, the Blue dealt the first blow and won the Subway Cup Final but they may be more upset at the 2-0 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League tie in midweek. This league clash is almost forgettable with a mountain to climb in the one competition fans want most while the gap atop the WSL makes this one almost a point scoring exercise for Sonia Bompastor’s side.

Hannah Hampton starts in goal behind a defensive line of Ashley Lawrence, Millie Bright, Lucy Bronze, and Niamh Charles. Oriane Jean-Francois and Wieke Kaptein come in as the defensive midfield duo while Lauren James, Maika Hamano, and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd support Aggie Beever-Jones as the striker.
Becky Spencer is on the bench with Nathalie Bjorn, Sandy Baltimore, Kiera Walsh, Erin Cuthbert, Cat Macario, Sjoeke Nusken, Mia Fishel, and Mayra Ramirez.
Notable Changes
There’s a clear eye on the midweek fixture here as some key players are being rested, likely to be unleashed on Thursday when they’re fresh. The one interesting area is the defence, it could be a standard back four but Charles and Bronze could also fit into a back three which might stifle City’s style of play. This would allow Lawrence and Kaneryd to play as the wing backs.
