The form

Birmingham lost 3-1 to Manchester City on the opening day of the season, before earning a 2-2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend. Only a 96th-minute winner from the Seagulls stopped the newly-promoted side from taking all three points.

After two matches, Chelsea have taken the most shots (60) and faced the fewest shots (9) in the WSL this season. We also rank top for duel success rate (61.2 per cent) and have attempted 21 more open play crosses than any other side, with 64.

Lauren James has taken 19 shots in the 2026/27 WSL, the most ever by a player across a team's opening two games of a campaign. Our No.10 has scored or assisted in her last six league matches - the last to do so in seven straight for us was Sam Kerr in April 2022.

Recent head-to-head

We have won each of our last eight meetings with Birmingham City across all competitions since a 3-2 league defeat in January 2019. We haven't faced them since they were last relegated in 2022.

The Blues are unbeaten in our last ten WSL games (W8 D2), and have also won 15 of 16 home matches in the competition against newly-promoted teams, with the only exception a 1-1 draw with West Ham in March 2019.
