The Blues started their European campaign last week with a frustrating 2-2 draw against Real Madrid in the Spanish capital. They will be hoping to claim their first victory of their group stage campaign this evening on home soil.

Ann-Katrin Berger returns to guard the Chelsea goal and will be protected by a back four that consists of Ashley Lawrence, Kadeisha Buchanan, Jess Carter and Niamh Charles.

There is no Millie Bright included in the match-day squad; Hayes confirmed yesterday the Blues skipper is struggling with a knee injury.

Erin Cuthbert and Sjoeke Nusken start once more. Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Jessie Fleming return to the starting XI and will complete an attack that also contains Lauren James and Sam Kerr.

Chelsea: Berger; Lawrence, Buchanan, Carter, Charles; Cuthbert, Nusken; Kaneryd, Fleming, James; Kerr

Chelsea substitutes: Musovic, Hampton, Perisset, Mjelde, Nouwen, Ingle, Kirby, Fishel, Beever-Jones
