Chelsea vs Arsenal

Chelsea and Arsenal have six games to tackle this March across 25 days, in three different competitions. How will they manage the load, and what could the ...

In defence, a back three of Leah Williamson, Lotte Wubben-Moy and Rafaelle Souza has been the preference. The absence of Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema has put a significant dent in Arsenal's title hopes this season. It begins with a match-up in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Sunday, and from there on the games keep coming. So far, Charles has been shoehorned in on the right. Hayes and Eidevall have both echoed that sentiment plenty of times. On the left, the Eriksson saga provides more cause for concern. But for all her niftiness, the 23-year-old lacks a certain finesse. Hayes has made that clear through her management of players with more complex injuries. Expect similar shifts in midfield across the next month. Eriksson fills in the most unorthodox role as a makeshift left-back. The back three turns into a four, with Eve Perisset replacing Niamh Charles. Chelsea and Arsenal have six games to tackle this March across 25 days, in three different competitions.

We return from the February international break with a Vitality Women's FA Cup fifth-round tie against the reigning champions.

After this fifth-round clash, we are set to face Chelsea once again in the Conti Cup final on March 5 at Selhurst Park. Our last meeting with Chelsea came in January as we hosted the Women's Super League clash at Emirates Stadium.

It was a game of Arsenal not taking any of their chances unable to slot any goals home - despite 18 shots, with ten of those on target.

Made some brilliant runs to create great chances for her teammates and causing havoc for the Chelsea defence.

Blackstenius - Huge opportunity just before the 20 minute mark as she was played clean through, but was unable to keep her shot down. Missed a blinder after great play from Foord and Blackstenius but couldn’t get on the end of Blackstenius’ cross. Maanum - Forced an early save from Berger in the opening few minutes. 7

The Chelsea goalkeeper leaps to palm it away. That feels like the end of Arsenal's chances of creating a tense finish. It wasn't a sparkling performance from the hosts, who were helped by Arsenal's wastefulness. Our rest defence wasn't good in the first half. I thought the game would be won and lost in transitions. "But tactically they carried out everything I asked from them. That was intentional." look at the players out there. We work on that all the time, in the classroom and on the pitch.

We knew we had to strengthen for the most important period of the season and we didn't." Foord, Maanum, Blackstenius and McCabe all had chances in the first half but couldn't find the back of the net. It's obvious Arsenal are missing their star strikers Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema, but Swedish international Blackstenius is looking to prove herself in the squad. Made her mark in the game from the get go with a foul on Catley then an assist for Sophie Ingle's goal. Coming back to club football after making her international debut for England in the Arnold Clark Cup, her confidence seethed onto the pitch for Chelsea. It's clear from the numerous derbies between these two teams that Chelsea have buckets of squad depth and options for Hayes to rotate her team, while Arsenal's lack of January transfer deals is showing.
