Chelsea FC Women team news

Chelsea Women would look to make it seven successive league titles as they assert their dominance in the league. They will, however, be keen to manage the fitness of key stars like Sam Kerr, Lauren James and the recently injured striker Mayra Ramirez.

Not having to deal with any suspensions would be a welcome relief for the coach.

Manchester City Women team news

Manchester City had an injury nightmare in the 2024/25 season with key stars like Vivianne Miedema, Khadija Shaw, Lauren Hemp and Alex Greenwood all feeling the heat. Shaw promised to be fit and firing for the title this season. A summer injury to defender Rebecca Knaak put them in jeopardy once again as they scrambled to set their lineup.
