Liverpool vs Chelsea Match Analysis & Prediction
01/05/2024 9:00 pm
Chelsea Women will be looking to bounce back from Champions League disappointment when they face Liverpool Women at Prenton Park on Wednesday night.
The Blues are occupying second place in the Women’s Super League table, while the Reds will head into the midweek contest in fifth position.
Having picked up 32 points from 19 matches, Liverpool are already guaranteed to better last season’s seventh-placed finish.
Matt Beard’s side recorded a narrow 1-0 victory in their most recent game against bottom-placed Bristol City through Marie Hobinger’s 15th-minute goal.
The Reds are currently experiencing an underwhelming run of home form, having seen their last five home league matches produce one win, two draws and two losses.
Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Emma Hayes will have to pick up her side up following their Champions League semi-final exit at the hands of Barcelona.
The Blues went into Saturday’s home leg with a narrow 1-0 advantage and dreaming of a second appearance in a European final.
However, Chelsea saw their lead wiped out by Aitana Bonmati, before a Kadiesha Buchanan red card and a Fridolina Rolfo penalty turned the tie in Barcelona’s favour.
Hayes’ side have ultimately seen their hopes of winning the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League quashed in three of their last five matches, leaving them with just the WSL title to play for in the boss’ final season in charge.
Chelsea may be sitting six points adrift of Manchester City, but they can move level on points with the Citizens if they win both of their games in hand.
