Emma Hayes has made one change to her Chelsea side for this evening’s Champions League semi-final second leg at a sold-out Stamford Bridge.
The Blues are 90 minutes away from sealing their place in the final in Bilbao and hold a one-goal advantage from the first leg courtesy of Erin Cuthbert’s fine strike last weekend in Catalonia.
Hayes has been forced into a change with Mayra Ramirez unavailable. Catarina Macario comes into the Chelsea attack.
Hannah Hampton keeps her place in the Chelsea goal and is protected by the same back three that started in Barcelona. Jess Carter is on the right, Kadeisha Buchanan is deployed in the middle, and captain Niamh Charles is on the left.
Johanna Rytting Kaneryd is set to continue in a right-back role with Ashley Lawrence on the opposite flank.
Cuthbert starts in the midfield alongside Melanie Leupolz while Sjoeke Nusken will push up to support the forward line that is made up of Lauren James and Macario.
Chelsea (3-4-1-2):Hampton; Carter, Buchanan Charles (c); Rytting Kaneryd, Cuthbert, Leupolz, Lawrence; Nusken; Macario, James
Chelsea substitutes: Musovic, Perisset, Mjelde, Bjorn, Bright, Ingle, Cankovic, Kirby, Reiten, Beever-Jones
