It’s set to be an intriguing late-season duel that will see two of the division’s top three sides go head-to-head, less than two weeks before the end of the campaign.
United currently occupy the third and final of the WSL’s Champions League places, and need two wins from our final four league matches to secure European football for next term – a feat that could be achieved against the Londoners.
Sonia Bompastor’s side lead the way at the top, six points ahead of the Reds, but a positive result in the upcoming encounter could also see us narrow the gap at the summit and set up a grandstand finish to 2024/25.
Before then, United have a massive FA Cup semi-final clash away to Manchester City this Sunday and are due to return to WSL action on the following weekend with a trip to West Ham.
After the battle with Chelsea, our league season is due to conclude in May, with an Old Trafford derby against City before a final-day visit to Arsenal.
