Emma Hayes makes six changes from the side that last weekend progressed into the FA Cup semi-finals.

Lauren James returns despite some sickness during the week and Hannah Hampton is back in goal.

With Nathalie Bjorn the latest player ruled out through injury, Kadeisha Buchanan, who flew back to England shortly before the previous game having contested the Gold Cup with Canada, is named in the defence.

Niamh Charles, Melanie Leupolz and Guro Reiten are other players back in the line-up having started on the bench last Sunday.

Eve Perisset plays her 50th game for Chelsea in all competitions. Fran Kirby, one appearance away from her 200th, is named as a substitute. Catarina Macario, with two goals from two sub appearances so far, is also on the bench.

Arsenal have made two changes from their Conti Cup semi-final win over Aston Villa. Stina Blackstenius come into attack in place of Alessia Russo. Leah Williamson returns for Laia Codina.
