On the other side a team that has to lock down a UEFA Women’s Champions League berth by preferably beating everyone left in their path so they don’t depend on others to achieve such a feat. Such is life in league football. **Date / Time:** Sunday, May 3, 2026, 14.30 BST; 9:30am EDT **Venue:**King Power Stadium, Leicester, UK **Referee:** Ade Soneye **Forecast:**Some clouds and some wind **On TV:**BBC Two (UK); *none* (USA); **elsewhere** **Streaming:**BBC iPlayer (UK); ESPN+, fuboTV (USA)

**Leicester team news:** It’s been a season to forget for the Foxes who are already relegated from the Women’s Super League. In this miserable term they’ve gotten nine points in 20 league matches, which is less than half of what they got last year. Now that they’re playing for honour and not much more, they can try to put up a show against Chelsea by risking it for the biscuit. Not that one should expect to happen as they don’t want to risk humiliation either. But they do have a mostly clean slate in terms of injuries meaning they can go ahead with full force against the defending champions.

**Chelsea team news:** It can’t be said enough that this Chelsea Women team is not like the ones from the recent past. And even with all adversities we’re still holding onto second place in the Women’s Super League — although beating Manchester City for the title would require a few miracles to happen, in a sequence that only a very bad YA novel could bring to the table. With captain Millie Bright retiring from the sport our only ongoing injury concern has been Aggie Beever-Jones. And the English attacker is available for today’s game. Hooray! **Previously:** Four goals to nil.
