Chelsea Match Preview

It's Red vs Blue on Sunday as Chelsea come to SE7 (2.30pm GMT) in the BWSL.

TEAM NEWS

Charlton lost 2-1 to West Ham on Wednesday night in the Subway Players Cup. There were some positives to take from the evening, as Grace Johnston returned to action and scored her first goal for the club.

On returning to action, Johnston said: "Yeah, it feels good. Can't be any more grateful for my medical team, to be honest, to get me back out there, and yeah, it's nice to get a goal."

There are no new squad updates as Hawa Cissoko, Charlotte Newsham, Paula Partido, and Linda Lif Boama all work their way back from injury.

THE OPPOSITION 

Chelsea head into this fixture fresh off their Champions League exploits against Roma, where they were 2-0 winners. That was the Blues' tenth win of the season in all competitions as they continue their unbeaten streak.

In the BWSL, Chelsea are sitting top of the league with six wins and one draw. Last time out in the league, Chelsea came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 3-1 thanks to goals from Melvine Malard and Sandy Baltimore.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Charlton and Chelsea have met eight times over their history. Whilst Chelsea hold the better recent record, winning both FA Cup ties in 2025 and 2020 4-0, Charlton hold the better record overall, winning the first four meetings between 2005 and 2006 (2D).
