The summer arrival could not have settled better at Chelsea and knows this rivalry from both sides, having previously played for our opponents. Now she is looking forward to meeting her former club at the Bridge for the first time.

'This game is made for that sort of occasion,' she explains. 'All the girls at Chelsea were so excited to find out it would be here. It’s where the game is at now, you have these big games and they have to be on the biggest stage.

'It’s such a headline act and I think the fans around the game are going to be amazing. They’ll be so important for us. It’s a game between the top two teams in the WSL, both unbeaten this season and with players in good attacking form. It seems the perfect time to have this match-up, in the perfect place.'

Bronze discusses her days working with Sonia Bompastor and Camille Abily at Lyon, the benefits of our multilingual dressing room and her unlikely friendship with Ji So-Yun, who she reveals she used to text around big games against Chelsea in her City days!

'We never played together, but we had so much respect for each other,' says Bronze. 'At the time we were both at the top of our game and I think one year I won Player of the Season and the next year she did, so it was two of the best players in the league at the time.

'We always used to talk after the games, even though we didn’t know each other, and I’d always be like, 'when are you going to come and play with me?' and she’d be saying the same to me. When I signed for Chelsea, she was one of the people that texted me and she said, 'I can’t believe you’ve gone to Chelsea when I’ve left!''
