Chelsea form: Ruthless in front of goal
Chelsea followed a 3-1 league victory over Crystal Palace with a 6-0 demolition of Charlton Athletic last weekend. Nathalie Björn scored inside three minutes, Melvine Malard struck twice and Ellie Carpenter made it four before the 20-minute mark. Aggie Beever-Jones and Giulia Dragoni completed the scoring after half-time.
The Blues attempted 36 shots against Charlton, their highest total in a WSL match this season. They have scored 18 goals across their last four league fixtures and 27 overall, averaging 3.4 per game. Just four goals conceded and five clean sheets underline their strength at the other end.
Malard has six league goals, while Katie McCabe created five chances against Charlton. Björn’s first league start of the campaign, following an injury-disrupted previous season, also offers Bompastor another defensive option.
Everton form: Defensive resilience under Phelan
Everton drew 0-0 with Manchester United in their latest WSL outing, having previously lost 3-2 to Aston Villa. Between those league matches, they beat Sheffield United 2-1 in the Women’s League Cup.
Scott Phelan’s side have scored seven goals and conceded nine in eight league matches. Their three clean sheets are already close to the four they managed across the entire previous WSL season. However, an average of 0.9 goals per game highlights the need for greater attacking productivity.
Phelan stressed the importance of defending as a collective: “We want to be productive at the other end of the pitch, but the defensive work is really important to us.”
Team news
Everton will be without Holly McNamara, who faces a spell on the sidelines but could return before Christmas. Inma Gabarro continues her recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury and has no confirmed comeback date.
Chelsea’s supplied reports do not identify new absentees for this fixture. Björn returned to the starting lineup against Charlton, playing just over an hour. Her involvement is encouraging, although her minutes could still be managed.
Chelsea vs Everton Predicted starting XIs
Chelsea (3-4-2-1): Hannah Hampton; Nathalie Björn, Veerle Buurman, Sjoeke Nüsken; Ellie Carpenter, Keira Walsh, Katie McCabe, Sandy Baltimore; Manaka Matsukubo, Lauren James; Melvine Malard.
Everton (4-1-4-1): Courtney Brosnan; Hannah Blundell, Naomi Layzell, Charlotte Wheeler, Rion Ishikawa; Ruby van Gool; Yuka Momiki, Ruby Mace, Honoka Kitagawa, Martina Pacheco; Ornella Vignola.
These selections follow the teams used against Charlton and Manchester United, respectively, and remain subject to late changes.
Tactical analysis
Chelsea average 64.8% possession, compared with Everton’s 54.5%, and will likely seek to pin the visitors back. Their wing-backs provide width, while Malard’s movement and James’ creativity threaten central spaces.
Everton’s best route may be to protect the area around their penalty box, disrupt Chelsea’s early momentum and counterattack when the hosts push forward. Phelan acknowledged Chelsea’s physicality and defensive quality, but said his side have a plan and must be ready to adapt.
Head-to-head
Chelsea have won 16 of their last 18 WSL meetings with Everton, but the Toffees earned a notable 1-0 away victory in December 2025. Chelsea responded with a 4-1 win at Everton in April 2026. That recent upset is a reminder that the visitors cannot be dismissed.
Where to watch
UK viewers can watch live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Mix. Chelsea will also provide team news and match updates through its official website and app.
Prediction
Everton’s improved clean-sheet record suggests they can make Chelsea work for openings. Nevertheless, the hosts’ scoring form and seven consecutive league victories make them strong favourites.
