Sonia Bompastor's side enjoyed a successful first half of the season, having qualified for the Women's Champions League quarter-finals and also progressing to the Women's League Cup semi-final stage thanks to a 9-1 win over Liverpool in the final match before the winter break.

We currently sit second in the Women's Super League and have a chance to cut Manchester City's lead at the top when we face Andree Jeglertz's side on 1 February.

After some much-needed rest and recuperation over the Christmas period, the Blues will travel to Portugal to prepare for a busy return to action in 2026.

Our first match of the new year will see us take on West Ham United at Kingsmeadow on January 11, before another home tie against Crystal Palace in the Fourth Round of the Women's FA Cup the following weekend.

We will then head north for a midweek League Cup semi-final against Manchester City, before a huge North London derby in the WSL against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on January 24.
