Arsenal Women vs Chelsea Women – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Arsenal Women welcome Chelsea Women to The Emirates Stadium for tonight’s all-English Champions League quarter-final.

The holders will hope to earn a positive first-leg result against their London rivals, before the second leg at Stamford Bridge next week.

Both teams have fallen adrift in the WSL title race and will be eyeing Europe as a chance to make this a memorable campaign. The winners of the tie will face either Wolfsburg or Lyon in the last four.

Arsenal will take encouragement from their head-to-head record against Chelsea this season. The North Londoners are unbeaten in both WSL meetings (W1, D1).

The Gunners are set to be without Leah Williamson, who is dealing with a hamstring issue. Williamson missed the weekend thrashing of West Ham at the weekend and has been ruled out.

“Leah Williamson is not going to make it for tomorrow. She’s progressing well, but too early,” Arsenal manager Renee Slegers said on Monday.

Slegers also confirmed that Australian trio of Steph Catley, Caitlin Foord and Kyra Cooney-Cross will miss the game having only returned to England on Monday, following their involvement in the Asia Cup.

Elsewhere, long-term Manuela Zinsberger and Katie Reid are again missing.
