The form

Bompastor's side are unbeaten across all four competitions this season, with that run standing at 26 games after our win against Leicester City in the Women's Super League on Wednesday night.

We reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup having defeated Everton 4-1 at Kingsmeadow in the fifth round last month, with our goals coming from Catarina Macario, Mayra Ramirez, Maika Hamano and Sandy Baltimore.

Crystal Palace beat Championship side Newcastle United 2-0 at home in the previous round. Both goals arrived late on, as Ashleigh Weerden opened the scoring in the 81st minute before Abbie Larkin doubled their advantage in injury time.

Recent head-to-head

The two sides have met once already this season, with the Blues beating Crystal Palace 7-0 in the league back in September. It remains our most prolific victory to date this term.

Guro Reiten scored a brace at Selhurst Park, while Aggie Beever-Jones, Lucy Bronze, Lauren James, Nathalie Bjorn and Macario were also on the scoresheet.

We also faced Crystal Palace in last season's FA Cup, hosting the Eagles in the fifth round at Kingsmeadow. It proved to be a hard-fought 1-0 win for Chelsea, with Ramirez's first goal for the club sending the Blues into the last eight.
