This is a Chelsea Women predicted lineup for their UEFA Women’s Champions League Quarter Final second leg against Manchester City Women. The Blues visited the Etihad this past weekend and fought from a goal down to win 2-1, the second such winning scoreline between these two teams in the past three outings. With the Cityzens taking a commanding 2-0 lead into this second leg, Sonia Bompastor will need to be perfect to get through to the next round.<\/p>\n
Hannah Hampton has started every game in goal recently. The back four has featured Ashley Lawrence, Lucy Bronze, Niamh Charles, Sandy Baltimore, Nathalie Bjorn, and Millie Bright. In midfield, there’s either a singular lone sitting player or a double pivot with Kiera Walsh, Erin Cuthbert, Sjoeke Nusken, Oriane Jean-Francois, and Wieke Kaptein able to play there.<\/p>\n

Cat Macario and Maika Hamano split starts in the middle with Mayra Ramirez and Beever-Jones the go-to strikers.<\/p>\n Bompastor often uses some sort of 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 depending on personnel and opposition. This proved to be useful enough as her team went undefeated in all competitions until last week when the 2-0 loss away in the first leg took the wind out of their sails. There was a brief experimentation with a back three but injuries to centre-backs have forced them away from such a set-up.<\/p>\nChelsea Recent Form & Tactics<\/h3>\n
