The Chelsea supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host West Ham W in League Cup Women and win 6-0. Before that, Chelsea W had a Wsl 1 Women home game versus Tottenham W which ended with a victory 4-0.

As mentioned above, Chelsea "killed" West Ham W in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. P. Mosegaard-Harder was absolutely essential when Chelsea beat West Ham W 6-0, scoring three goals.

After this away game Brighton return home for a Wsl 1 Women game against West Ham W. That game is only three sleeps after this.
