Hannah Hampton returns in goal and replaces Livia Peng, while ahead of her Lucy Bronze comes into the defence for Veerle Buurman, who drops to the bench.

Bronze wears the captain's armband in this derby clash at the Bridge, and is joined in the backline by Ellie Carpenter, Kadeisha Buchanan and Katie McCabe.

Keira Walsh was substituted midway through the first half of our victory over Austria Vienna on Wednesday night after suffering some pain in her calf, but has been passed fit for today. She lines up alongside Lexi Potter and Wieke Kaptein in midfield. Sjoeke Nusken is named on the bench.

Another fitness doubt was Lauren James, who missed the win over Austria Vienna entirely, but our No.10 makes the starting XI, coming into the team in place of Sandy Baltimore. Aggie Beever-Jones has shaken off her recent injury and is on the bench.

Chelsea: Hampton, Carpenter, Bronze (c), Buchanan, McCabe, Walsh, Potter, Kaptein, Thompson, James, Malard
