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<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/womens-super-league-table\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> atop the WSL<\/a> makes this one almost a point scoring exercise for Sonia Bompastor&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n<h2>Chelsea Women Confirmed Lineup vs Manchester City<\/h2>\n<h3>Chelsea Women Team News<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Becky Spencer is on the bench with Nathalie Bjorn, Sandy Baltimore, Kiera Walsh, Erin Cuthbert, Cat Macario, Sjoeke Nusken, Mia Fishel, and Mayra Ramirez.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s a clear eye on the midweek fixture here as some key players are being rested, likely to be unleashed on Thursday when they&#8217;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&#8217;s style of play. This would allow Lawrence and Kaneryd to play as the wing backs.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester City Women Team News<\/h3>\n<p>Keating, Casparij, Prior, Aleixandri, Layzell, Hasegawa, Roord, Coombs, Kerolin, Park, Miedema<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Women Available Squad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Hannah Hampton<\/li>\n<li>Katie Cox<\/li>\n<li>Becky Spencer<\/li>\n<li>Millie Bright<\/li>\n<li>Ashley Lawrence<\/li>\n<li>Nathalie Bjorn<\/li>\n<li>Niamh Charles<\/li>\n<li>Lucy Bronze<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/09\/05\/chelsea-women-complete-sixth-summer-signing\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Sandy Baltimore<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Sjoeke Nusken<\/li>\n<li>Kiera Walsh<\/li>\n<li>Erin Cuthbert<\/li>\n<li>Oriane Jean-Francois<\/li>\n<li>Wieke Kaptein<\/li>\n<li>Johanna Ryttin Kaneryd<\/li>\n<li>Mia Fishel<\/li>\n<li>Mayra Ramirez<\/li>\n<li>Maika Hamano<\/li>\n<li>Aggie Beever-Jones<\/li>\n<li>Lauren James<\/li>\n<li>Cat Macario<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stay tuned for the Chelsea Women confirmed lineup.
