Team news: Three changes for Uwcl quarter-final

Renée Slegers has made three changes to the starting XI for tonight’s UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Chelsea.

Emily Fox, Katie McCabe and Beth Mead all come into the side following Saturday’s 5-0 win over West Ham United in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

They replace Smilla Holmberg, Taylor Hinds and Olivia Smith.

That means Anneke Borbe remains in goal with Lotte Wubben-Moy and Laia Codina in between Fox and McCabe.

The midfield consists of Kim Little, Mariona Caldentey and Alessia Russo, while Chloe Kelly and Mead are the wingers either side of Stina Blackstenius.

Kick-off is at 8pm at Arsenal Stadium.
