Chelsea return to Stamford Bridge this evening for their first home Champions League fixture of the season, where they will aim to secure a vital victory against Paris FC.
After a frustrating 1-1 draw away at Twente on matchday one, the pressure is now firmly on Sonia Bompastor’s side. Consequently, they know they must get three points on the board to take control of the group.
Unbeaten in all competitions this season, the Blues would be full of confidence for this encounter. Furthermore, they also have a perfect historical record against their opponents. In fact, Chelsea beat Paris FC comfortably both home and away in this competition last season and will be firm favourites to do so again.
Chelsea team news
Ahead of tonight’s match, head coach Sonia Bompastor has received a major boost with the return of several key players. For instance, winger Sandy Baltimore is now fit and available for selection. Likewise, defenders Lucy Bronze and Niamh Charles have also returned to the squad.
However, the team still remain without the injured duo of Lauren James and Mayra Ramírez. In defence, captain Millie Bright is set to make a landmark 299th appearance for the club. Meanwhile, in attack, Aggie Beever-Jones will likely lead the line, with creative support from Catarina Macario and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd.
