On Saturday, the women's teams from Chelsea and Manchester City will face off in a top-of-the-table matchup at Stamford Bridge.

The visitors have played one more game than their championship opponents, the hosts, who are currently in second place in the Women's Super League league, one game behind.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

Sonia Bompastor has overseen Chelsea to a perfect record as a manager, with an ideal record in nine competitive matches.

Mayra Ramirez, Guro Reiten, and Aggie Beever-Jones scored for Chelsea in last Sunday's 3-0 away victory against Liverpool, giving the Blues six wins in a row in the WSL.

Celtic made the Blues fight for their 2-1 Women's Champions League triumph at Celtic Park considerably more complex than their last match. The WSL team had to return from behind to pull off the upset.

After Murphy Agnew scored first, Maika Hamano leveled the score. Ashley Lawrence then scored the game-winning goal. Chelsea ended up with ten players due to Beever-Jones's late red card.

Having played three straight-away games, Chelsea will relish playing Saturday's pivotal league fixture at home. They have won 37 of their last 39 WSL outings (D1, L1).

Even though Chelsea won all of their league matches during that time, their lone home setback came in February, when they were beaten by Manchester City, thanks to a goal from Bunny Shaw.

Manchester City will also feel good about Saturday's matchup, having won eleven and drawn one of their twelve competitive matches this season.

Ever since their September tie with Arsenal, Man City has won its past ten games in a row, including both of its home games.

The Citizens dominated Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 and then beat Hammarby 2-0 in the Women's Champions League thanks to a goal-scoring performance.

Man City beat their Swedish opponents 2-0 with goals from Laura Blindkilde Brown and Aoba Fujino. They are now in first place in Group D with three points, three ahead of defending European champions Barcelona.

After a successful week on the European stage, Manchester City will return to domestic play this weekend in pursuit of a third straight-away league victory.

Since losing by a razor-thin margin of 2-1 at Arsenal in November 2023, Man City have won 10 of their last 11 WSL road encounters.

Chelsea Women vs. Manchester City Women Team News

Because of injuries, Chelsea is still missing Sophie Ingle, Sam Kerr, Mia Fishel, Aniek Nouwen, and Niamh Charles.

Lauren James, an England international, has missed the past five matches due to a calf injury and is, therefore, not eligible for selection.

Following a series of adjustments made over the middle of the week, Bompastor is expected to recall the following players: Millie Bright, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, Sjoeke Nusken, Lucy Bronze, Kadiesha Buchanan, Reiten, and Ramirez.

Vivianne Miedema, Risa Shimizu, Laia Aleixandri, Naomi Layzell, and Sandy MacIver are unavailable to the guests.

According to Man City coach Gareth Taylor, Lauren Hemp's availability is still in question. She could not play in the victory against Hammarby because of a knee injury.

Shaw will spearhead the attack against Chelsea in the hopes of maintaining her impressive form, which has seen her score seven goals in the league thus far this season.
