An early start to Chelsea football today, with the Women’s team taking on the London City Lionesses at Stamford Bridge. It’s also the start of a new regional rivalry with the recently promoted side using the most of their several reinforcements over the summer to keep themselves in the top half of the Women’s Super League table.
In their first ever trip to the Bridge, London City will want to make a statement. We best shut them up before they start getting rowdy.
