Manchester United Women vs Chelsea Women Team News
Manchester United are expected to remain largely unchanged from the side that held West Ham to a goalless draw, with Marc Skinner opting for continuity in a high-stakes fixture. Norwegian forward Elisabeth Terland will continue to lead the line, having netted nine times in her debut WSL season. Midfielder Dominique Janssen could return to the starting XI to offer additional control and defensive assurance in the middle of the park.
Evie Rabjohn remains sidelined as she continues rehabilitation from a long-term knee injury, while Aoife Mannion is also expected to miss out due to a lack of match fitness. Skinner’s preference for a settled defensive unit means Le Tissier and Turner are likely to partner at centre-back once again, in front of Phallon Tullis-Joyce, who has now kept four consecutive clean sheets.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are without a number of key players. Star striker Sam Kerr continues her lengthy absence, while Kadiesha Buchanan, Zecira Musovic, Femke Liefting, and Sophie Ingle also remain unavailable. Sonia Bompastor will assess Nathalie Bjorn’s fitness after the defender missed the last two games following an injury sustained against Barcelona.
With limited recovery time following Sunday’s loss to the Catalan giants, Bompastor is expected to rotate. Ashley Lawrence and Wieke Kaptein are in line for recalls, while Aggie Beever-Jones could return to the frontline. Erin Cuthbert will be central to Chelsea’s midfield engine, supporting the attacking trio of Rytting Kaneryd, Kaptein and the versatile Mayra Ramirez.
Predicted Manchester United XI: Tullis-Joyce; Riviere, Le Tissier, Turner, George; Bizet, Clinton, Janssen, Toone, Galton; Terland
Predicted Chelsea XI: Hampton; Bronze, Lawrence, Bright, Baltimore; Cuthbert, Nüsken; Rytting Kaneryd, Kaptein, Beever-Jones; Ramirez
Man United Women vs Chelsea Women Betting Tips
United’s recent form and clean sheet streak suggest they are ready to challenge Chelsea’s dominance. However, Chelsea’s title pedigree, even when fatigued, cannot be dismissed. With United unbeaten at home all season (W7, D2), we anticipate a tight contest, possibly delaying Chelsea’s title celebrations.
Manchester United Women vs Chelsea Women Match Predictions
We predict a draw as the most likely outcome, with both teams sharing the spoils. Chelsea’s recent struggles, particularly after their Champions League exit, could impact their performance, while Manchester United will be eager to capitalise on any fatigue or mental strain from their opponents. United’s solid defence and Chelsea’s attacking threats are likely to cancel each other out.
Match Prediction: Draw
Manchester United Women vs Chelsea Women Correct Score Tips & Predictions
A 1-1 draw seems like a plausible outcome, considering Manchester United’s solid defensive record at home and Chelsea’s attacking strength. The Blues have been known to create chances but may struggle after their recent emotional and physical toll in the Champions League. On the other hand, United’s well-drilled backline should provide a strong challenge to Chelsea’s forward line. Another possible scoreline to consider is a 2-1 victory for either side. If Chelsea can bounce back from their midweek disappointment, they may edge out United with a narrow win, but the hosts will certainly make it difficult for them. For those looking for a more speculative result, a 0-0 draw is also a realistic possibility, particularly if both sides prioritise defensive solidity in such a crucial game. However, given United’s attacking threats, it’s unlikely that they’ll fail to score at home. We recommend a 1-1 draw as the most likely correct score, but the 2-1 scoreline for either team could also offer value.
Match Prediction: 1-1 Draw
Man Utd Women vs Chelsea Women Over & Under Goals Betting Tips
While over 2.5 goals is a tempting option due to the attacking quality on both sides, under 2.5 goals may offer more value given the tight nature of the contest and the likelihood of a scrappy, closely fought encounter.
United’s strong defensive record at home, coupled with Chelsea’s fatigue from their recent European exit, suggests that this match could also lean towards a more conservative approach, with fewer goals. Both sides are likely to focus on securing points with solid, organised defences. If Chelsea struggles to shake off their Champions League disappointment, a 1-0 or 1-1 draw could lead to under 2.5 goals being a safe option.
Match Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
