First of many at Kingsmeadow
Chelsea Women are back to hosting matches at Kingsmeadow, with their first opponent at our comfy home turf being Leicester City. The Foxes were put in a predicament of their own with caretaker manager Rick Passmoor doing the best he can with a squad built around former manager Amandine Miquel’s needs.
Of course the Blues have nothing to do with their struggles, and they’ll be looking to build upon the two wins in two matches to kickstart the season.

Hampton | Carpenter, Björn, Bright (c), Buurman, Baltimore | Walsh, Cuthbert, Kaptein | Macario, Beever-Jones
