Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor has made two changes to the side since their win over Paris FC just before the international break.

Lucy Bronze starts having featured in both games for England last week but Sam Kerr is on the bench despite starting for Australia.

Bronze is joined in the starting XI by Ellie Carpenter, who usually plays at right-back so it will be interesting to see where they both play.

Alyssa Thompson and Wieke Kaptein drop to the bench, alongside Naomi Girma.

Chelsea XI: Hampton, Bronze, Bright, Bjorn, Carpenter, Baltimore, Walsh, Cuthbert, Nusken, Reiten, Beever-Jones.

Subs: Peng, Macario, Thompson, Girma, Jean-Francois, Kaptein, Rytting-Kaneryd, Kerr, Charles.

Jocelyn Precheur has named the same Lionesses City Lionesses side from their defeat by Leicester City.

Freya Godfrey and Izzy Goodwin were passed fit despite picking up a few knocks.

London City Lionesses XI: Lete, Fernandez, Kumagai, Asllani, Linari, Godfrey, Parris, Goodwin, Imuran, Sangare, Geyoro.
