Everton Women vs Chelsea | WSL Match Preview: Finnigan wants strong end to season

“We know the importance of a strong conclusion to the season and we are inspired to finish on a positive note our first season at Goodison Park.

The Opposition

Sonia Bompastor has full belief her team will secure a Champions League spot but will be well aware of both Manchester United and Arsenal being two points behind them, with the latter having two games games on Chelsea, who could mathematically still win the league but would need to overhaul a huge goal difference and have every result go their way. A season that has been below their usual standards, with Chelsea securing the last five WSL crowns on the spin, although the West London outfit have won the League Cup for the fourth time in their history and still have the FA Cup in their sights. The Champions League did evade them again this season however, and the exit to Arsenal will have hurt that little bit more in a campaign that may see some changes for the side so used to dominating the domestic front.

Previous Meetings

A one-sided rivalry was turned on its head this season when a Honoka Hayashi goal secured an unlikely win at Kingsmeadow, also ending Chelsea’s 18-month unbeaten record in the WSL in the process.
