On one side a team that has very little to play for in the Women’s Super League but their own honour after confirming their relegation last weekend. On the other side a team that has to lock down a UEFA Women’s Champions League berth by preferably beating everyone left in their path so they don’t depend on others to achieve such a feat.
Such is life in league football.

Now that they’re playing for honour and not much more, they can try to put up a show against Chelsea by risking it for the biscuit. Not that one should expect to happen as they don’t want to risk humiliation either. But they do have a mostly clean slate in terms of injuries meaning they can go ahead with full force against the defending champions.

With captain Millie Bright retiring from the sport our only ongoing injury concern has been Aggie Beever-Jones. And the English attacker is available for today’s game.
Hooray!
Previously: Four goals to nil.
