The form
Chelsea go into Sunday’s clash in red-hot form, winning our last seven WSL matches. The Blues have recorded two wins in the past seven days, defeating Tottenham Hotspur twice.
Birmingham, meanwhile, go into the fixture full of confidence after a vital win on the road at Brighton and Hove Albion last time out. Darren Carter’s side sit bottom of the WSL, eight points behind Leicester City.
Birmingham Women vs Chelsea Women recent head-to-head record
The Blues have a strong history against Birmingham, winning 12 encounters. Sam Kerr, who was crowned FWA Women's Footballer of the Year this week, has scored a hat-trick in her last two WSL appearances against the Midlands side.
Our last encounter with Carter’s team came in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup quarter-final in March. The Blues put five past Birmingham at Kingsmeadow to progress through to the next round.
