Sonia Bompastor feels that Tuesday night's UEFA Women's Champions League fixture against Hacken has come at exactly the right time to help Chelsea shake off Saturday's disappointing 1-1 draw with Everton in domestic action.

The stalemate with the Toffees saw Sandy Baltimore put us in front with a header, but an unfortunate own goal from Lucy Bronze levelled the scores. And despite our best efforts in the second half, we couldn't put ourselves back in front.

There's little time between Saturday afternoon's final whistle and Tuesday's 5.45pm kick-off (UK time) in Gothenburg, but Bompastor feels that it will be good to get back out on the pitch quickly to shake off the result against Everton.

And aside from Naomi Girma and Lauren James, who were not part of the travelling squad, the head coach confirmed she has a full complement to pick from.

'All the other players are fit and available,' said the head coach, before going on to discuss our impressive record in the Champions League, in which we have not conceded a single goal in our opening three league phase encounters. 'It’s important for us to stay in that good form, especially on the back of a disappointing result at the weekend.

'In this competition we also have ambitions, and right now we are in the top four. That’s the goal: we want to be in the top four and stay there. So we want to put in a good performance and get a good result tomorrow. Staying strong defensively, not conceding too much and keeping a clean sheet would be a good thing.'

In a match where we had 65 per cent possession and fired 20 shots towards goal against Everton, the head coach said she was frustrated not to take all three points. But football moves on quickly, and Bompastor wants to take the opportunity to put in an improved display against Hacken.

'I think the frustration came from the result because we have ambitions, and dropping two points at home is never good, but it happens. The good thing with a quick turnaround is you analyse the game and give the players feedback, but you also need to move on. You need to focus on something new. We have a new game coming, in a new competition, so it’s the best thing for us in terms of moving on.'

Hacken were crowned Swedish champions for the second year running last week, and won the inaugural Women’s Europa Cup last season. However, their Champions League campaign has been a tougher one, with defeats to Inter and Juventus followed by a 1-1 draw away at Paris FC, secured by a 93rd-minute equaliser.

Bompastor believes those results haven’t reflected Hacken’s performances, and she warned of the threats they carry.

'Hacken's Champions League results didn’t necessarily reflect their performances on the pitch,' Bompastor explained. 'They have strengths and threats, especially in the attacking line, with speed and pace. So we will have to be really careful in the transitional moments of the game.

'For me, it’s important we find the right balance between focusing on ourselves and making sure we don’t give them many opportunities. They are playing at home, so they’ll want a good result, and we need to be at our best tomorrow.'
