Indeed, we remain unbeaten against any rival domestically since the arrival of Sonia Bompastor at the start of last season, and this domination is reflected in our results against other London clubs.

Across 10 WSL derby encounters under our French boss, we have won nine times and drawn just once, scoring 32 goals and conceding five in reply. The solitary dropped points came after a late West Ham United equaliser at Kingsmeadow last season, which earned the visitors a 2-2 draw.

Last season also saw us complete a league double over Arsenal, recording a 2-1 win at the Emirates Stadium and a 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge on our way to an undefeated Women’s Super League title.

The table below shows the WSL London derby head-to-head record since the appointment of Bompastor at the start of the 2024/25 campaign.

Our domestic Treble was completed with the addition of the Women’s League Cup and the Women’s FA Cup, where we also registered three out of three wins over Charlton Athletic, Crystal Palace, and West Ham United.

Chelsea's derby dominance stretches back to before the days of Bompastor. In the Women’s Super League era, we have won 40 of 58 matches against our London rivals, giving us a win rate of 69 per cent.

Saturday’s opponents have already made headway in the table, having leapfrogged Crystal Palace in the standings with a win over the Eagles in the League Cup and a 1-0 victory against West Ham in the WSL.
