This is a Chelsea Women predicted lineup for their last outing before the winter break. This clash against Real Madrid could have implications on who tops the group, but both sides have already qualified. With Sonia Bompastor’s squad looking a bit light they may go for a rotated lineup to try and get into the winter break in one piece.<\/p>\n

How Chelsea Women Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n

Hannah Hampton and Zecira Musovic have continued to share goalkeeping duties with the latte usually being fielded in this competition. In defense, Millie Bright and Nathalie Bjorn are the only fit centre-backs while Niamh Charles, Ashley Lawrence, Lucy Bronze, and Eve Perisset have started as full backs.<\/p>\n

In midfield, Sjoeke Nusken, Oriane Jean-Francois, Erin Cuthbert, and Wieke Kaptein tend to play in the deeper roles with Maika Hamano or Cat Macario up front.\u00a0 Hamano and Aggie Beever-Jones started out wide against FC Twente but those spots are usually occupied by Guro Reiten or Johanna Rytting-Kaneryd.<\/p>\n

Mayra Ramirez is the first-choice striker with Beever-Jones and Macario offering rotation in that spot.<\/p>\n

Chelsea Women Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n

Bompastor has used a 4-2-3-1 for the majority of the season with only the occasional tweak. It has been successful as her team remains undefeated, despite the draw this past weekend against Leicester City. She may no longer have a 100% winning record, but her team still looks tough to beat.<\/p>\n

Without a clean sheet in the past three matches, they squad does look susceptible at the back but this could be due to the wear and tear on Bright and Bjorn with neither able to rest since Maelys Mpome joined Kadiesha Buchanan on the sidelines. The team will be hoping to channel the same attacking output that scored them wins over Twente and Brighton to make it past Madrid.<\/p>\n

Chelsea Women Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n

Based on the travelling squad<\/a> we know who won’t be available for the selection. Sam Kerr, Mia Fishel, Aniek Nouwen, Sophie Ingle, Lauren James, Mpome, Buchanan and Rytting-Kaneryd have all not travelled, the latter being a fresh injury worry after playing the full match against the Seagulls.<\/p>\n

The absence of Kaneryd and other wingers could open the door for a first start for academy product Lola Brown who has appeared as a substitute.<\/p>\n
