Sonia Bompastor is looking to put another three points on the board after an opening night win against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge last Friday, and has gone for an unchanged back three.

Hannah Hampton continues in goal, and we expect defenders Millie Bright, Nathalie Bjorn and Niamh Charles to protect her. Ellie Carpenter is named in the XI by Bompastor after her superb debut at Stamford Bridge, while Keira Walsh also keeps her place in midfield.

Further forward, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, Catarina Macario, Wieke Kaptein and Guro Reiten will support Aggie Beever-Jones in attack.

Sam Kerr once again makes the bench after her long injury layoff, and is joined by our new signing Alyssa Thompson.
