We haven’t been used to so many ups and downs in Chelsea Women. They’ve always been atypical in their winning ways and given recent movements and rumours around the squad it seems we’re in for more upheaval — although always on the lookout for an upside.
Given how we are completely left out of the Women’s Super League title race, our hope lies on beating Manchester United for a Champions League classification spot. There’s no other way around this but winning today’s match at Kingsmeadow.
