Chelsea return home after five-goal Manchester United win
Chelsea head into Saturday’s game with momentum after producing their strongest performance of the season so far.
Bompastor’s side responded to their opening-weekend draw with Aston Villa by thrashing Manchester United 5-0 away from home.
That result demonstrated a much more clinical edge after Chelsea had struggled to convert their dominance against Villa.
ReadChelsea has already examined how Chelsea’s 32-shot display against Aston Villa exposed a finishing problem, while the victory at Manchester United showed the improvement Bompastor wanted.
Chelsea now have an opportunity to build on that performance in front of their own supporters.
Birmingham still searching for first WSL win
Birmingham returned to the Women’s Super League this season but have yet to record their first league victory.
They lost 3-1 to Manchester City on the opening weekend before drawing 0-0 with Brighton on Sunday.
Sky Sports’ Birmingham City Women results page confirms the promoted side collected their first point of the campaign against Brighton.
That clean sheet should give Birmingham some encouragement before facing a Chelsea attack which scored five in Manchester.
Bompastor’s side will nevertheless begin as strong favourites.
Chelsea Women enter busy run of fixtures
Saturday’s match comes at the start of an important week for Chelsea.
Just four days after facing Birmingham, the Blues begin their Women’s Champions League league phase against Austria Wien.
ReadChelsea’s Chelsea Women Champions League fixture guide has the full European schedule, including the early trip to Lyon.
Chelsea then return to league action against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on 27 September.
That makes Birmingham an important opportunity to build momentum before the schedule becomes considerably tougher.
For supporters watching from home, Chelsea Women vs Birmingham City kicks off at 12:45pm BST on Saturday 19 September and is currently scheduled for live coverage on Sky Sports Premier League.
