Chelsea Women head into their third UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage match this season, as they take on Italian outfit AS Roma at Plough Lane.
It’s an interesting matchup, with the Serie A side’s last outing in the competition being a 6-0 defeat at the hands of current champions, Barcelona. If the Blues are to challenge for this title this season, they best look past their earlier struggles in the championship and run up the score against the Giallorossi as well.
