In the absence of Millie Bright we have seen Maren Mjelde come into the defence alongside Jess Carter, \u00c8ve P\u00e9risset, and Niamh Charles. Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence also featured in a new-look defence in the previous tie against Paris FC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/12\/09\/chelsea-women-predicted-lineup-vs-arsenal-women-for-december-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea Women Predicted Lineup vs Arsenal Women for December 10<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The go-to defensive midfield pivot and midfield pairing in a 3-4-3 has been Erin Cuthbert and Sjoeke N\u00fcsken with Sophie Ingle occasionally coming in as rotation. Sam Kerr has spearheaded the attacking line with any combination of Fran Kirby, Lauren James, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, and Jessie Fleming in behind.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Women Recent form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Emma Hayes has largely stuck to a 4-2-3-1 although we have seen this shift to a 3-4-3 when Buchanan starts or a 4-1-4-1 against weaker teams. Until their previous outing, this had fared well for her team who were unbeaten all season long until their loss to Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/12\/08\/chelsea-conor-gallagher-contract-extension-talks\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">&#8216;For Sure&#8217;: Fabrizio Romano Reveals When Chelsea Will Start Talks To Extend &#8216;Extraordinary&#8217; Star&#8217;s Contract<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What may be a worry to the manager is the goals being conceded. The Blues haven&#8217;t kept a clean sheet in their past five fixtures. They have picked the ball out of the net 10 times in that run.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>In her pre-match conference, Hayes <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mamdwwy\/status\/1734985145264820370\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">confirmed<\/a> the absences of Bright and Jelena \u010cankovi\u0107 who remain sidelined alongside Cat Macario. Melanie Leupolz, who has been missing for some time should be fit to return to the squad in some form.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Women Predicted Lineup<\/h3>\n<p>Given Mjelde&#8217;s age it is likely we see her rested in this midweek fixture which could see a change to a back three to accommodate Buchanan and Lawrence.<\/p>\n<p>GK &#8211; Ann-Katrin Berger<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Jess Carter<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Kadeisha Buchanan<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Ashley Lawrence<\/p>\n<p>LWB &#8211; Niamh Charles<\/p>\n<p>RWB &#8211; Johanna Rytting Kaneryd<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Erin Cuthbert<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Sjoeke N\u00fcsken<\/p>\n<p>AT &#8211; Lauren James<\/p>\n<p>AT &#8211; Jessie Fleming<\/p>\n<p>AT &#8211; Sam Kerr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a Chelsea Women predicted lineup for their UEFA Champions League clash with group leaders BK Hacken.
