The Blues have made the short trip to north London sitting atop the WSL table. Victory at the Emirates Stadium, in front of almost 60,000 supporters, would open up a six-point lead over the Gunners after nine matches.

Ann-Katrin Berger continues in goal for Chelsea and she will be protected by a back four of Eve Perisset, Maren Mjelde, Jess Carter, and Niamh Charles. There is no Millie Bright in the squad due to injury.

Sjoeke Nusken comes back into the Chelsea midfield and will be deployed alongside Erin Cuthbert and Jessie Fleming.

Johanna Rytting Kaneryd continues on the right of our attack and Lauren James, who has been in sumptuous form this season, will be deployed off the left. Sam Kerr leads the attack and captains the side this afternoon.

Chelsea: Berger; Perisset, Mjelde, Carter, Charles; Nusken, Cuthbert; Rytting-Kaneryd, Fleming, James; Kerr (c)

Chelsea substitutes: Musovic, Hampton, Buchanan, Lawrence, Ingle, Kirby, Reiten, Beever-Jones, Fishel
