Team News

Chelsea FC Women
Brighton & Hove Albion Women
  • Sophie Ingle, Jorja Fox, Aniek Nouwen and Kadeisha Buchanan are all out with an ACL injury.
  • Lauren James is out until the New Year.
  • Maria Thorisdottir, Aisha Masaka and Fran Kirby are out injured.

Prediction

  • Both teams are in fine form coming into this match. Chelsea currently sit top of the table, having won all eight of their matches this season. Last time out, they faced Manchester United in a rearranged match and they won 1-0.
  • Brighton have also had a good season so far and sit in third. They played against relegation threatened West Ham last time out and narrowly won 3-2.
  • Chelsea have won each of their last four meetings against Brighton since they drew 0-0 back in January 2022. Brighton have lost four of their five away games against Chelsea with the exception being a 2-1 win in February 2021.
  • Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor is currently unbeaten in her last 30 home games in charge across all competitions since a 1-0 loss with Lyon against Chelsea in the 2022/23 UEFA Women's Champions League. Expect Chelsea to win their ninth game here.
