Chelsea Women and Celtic Women will battle for three points in a UEFA Women's Champions League clash on Wednesday (November 20th). The game will be played at Stamford Bridge.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a routine 2-0 home win over Manchester City in the Women's Super League. Mayra Ramirez and Guro Reiten scored in the 75th and 79th minutes respectively to inspire the win.
Celtic, meanwhile, fell to a 3-2 defeat at home to Old Firm rivals Rangers in the SWPL. They went behind to Rio Hardy's fourth-minute strike while Caitlin Hayes equalized in the 43rd minute to ensure the game was level at the break. Katie Wilkinson and Chelsea Cornet scored either side of Saoirse Noonan's equalizer to help the visitors claim the win.
Elena Sadiku's side will turn their focus to the continent, where their last game saw them fall to a 2-1 defeat at home in the reverse fixture last week.
The loss left them at the foot of Group B on zero points while Chelsea lead the way at the summit with maximum points from three games.
