Updates from this 8.15pm BST kick-off in LeighWSL table | Email Simon with your thoughts
Six points clear with three games to play, Chelsea would win the league tonight if they take more points from this match than Arsenal get in their 6pm kick-off against Aston Villa (likely to be impossible: Arsenal have won 12 of their last 13 in the league, slipping up only against Chelsea). The question is how the champions-elect cope with Sunday’s Champions League elimination at the hands of Barcelona.
“If we can win on Wednesday, it will be a big step for the title,” said the Chelsea coach, Sonia Bompastor. “This motivation is big enough for us to be focused. I’m still really confident going into the game. I know we have the quality in the squad, and the players and the staff will be all together to turn things around and be ready to compete.’
