Recent form
Chelsea are in mixed form ahead of the crunch game. They have one only one of their last three games in all competitions, their last WSL game which was a 4-3 win over Aston Villa.
Sonia Bompastor’s side needed an 82nd minute winner to seal the points, and Bompastor will be hoping the players will be up to the challenge at Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal are in excellent form. They have won every game in all competitions since a 1-0 loss to Manchester United in mid-January.
It feels as though the Gunners are peaking at the right time, and they have very fond memories of this competition having won it last year.
What’s been said?
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor: “Everything can happen and that’s probably why people enjoy so much watching football games. So we are confident because that’s our job, to be confident – players and staff.
“We know it will be a challenge and a battle. But if you analyse the performance we put in the first leg, I think there are a lot of belief. We can really play a good game tomorrow.”
Arsenal manager Renee Slegers: “It was a very tight game against Chelsea in the first leg, and we know it’s going to be a battle tomorrow as well so we have to be on it. It’s only half-time, so there’s a lot of work still to do for us, and that’s how we’re going to approach the game.
“Of course, we have a lot of experience in the group as players, as staff as well, how to manage different moments, and that’s what we definitely want to bring to the game tomorrow.”
