It’s an early trip to Manchester that Chelsea Women will take today, in a match that can pretty much tell us the way the rest of our Women’s Super League campaign will go. The 1-1 draw to Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge was unacceptable given our standards, and we need a strong answer against the Red Devils if we are to enter the league challenge alongside the other contenders to the title.

Tullis-Joyce | Lundkvist, Le Tissier (c), Janssen, Medina, Miyazawa, Zigiotti, Park, Toone, Bah, Terland
