With just three days separating Sunday's Champions League semi-final first leg defeat to Barcelona and tonight's WSL clash with Palace, unsurprisingly Bompastor has decided to freshen up her side, having spoken positively about the strength in depth in her squad on Tuesday afternoon.

Hannah Hampton retains her place in goal behind a back four of Niamh Charles, Millie Bright, Naomi Girma and Ashley Lawrence.

Oriane Jean-Francois comes into the midfield behind Sjoeke Nusken and Guro Reiten, while Sandy Baltimore and Aggie Beever-Jones start on the flanks, with Catarina Macario leading the line.

Chelsea head into tonight's game with a three-point lead at the top of the WSL but with this being our game in hand on the other title-chasers, victory over Palace would see us move six points clear with only nine to play for after tonight.

Chelsea XI: Hampton, Charles, Bright (c), Girma, Lawrence; Jean-Francois; Baltimore, Nusken, Reiten, Aggie Beaver-Jones; Macario

Substitutes: Spencer, Walsh, Mpome, Hamano, Bronze, Rytting-Kaneryd, Cuthbert, Ramirez, Fishel

Crystal Palace: Yanez, Arthur, Cato, Sharpe, Weerden, Nolan, Larisey, Gejl, Woodham, Stengel, Swaby

Crystal Palace substitutes: Majasaari, Veje, Hughes, Blanchard, Green, Oling, Riley, Larkin, Atkinson
