Chelsea vs Manchester City LIVE: Women’s Super League latest score, goals and updates from fixture

Follow The Independent’s live coverage of all the action in the FA Women’s Super League today as Chelsea face Manchester City in a crucial early-season clash.

Sarah Hayes’ team swept all before them in the WSL again last season, ending as champions, while Man City placed third – and have since seen several stars depart this summer. Perhaps surprisingly, both these teams suffered defeat on the delayed opening weekend; Chelsea were beaten 2-1 by Liverpool while City went down to 4-3 to Aston Villa.

Triumphant Euro 2022 trio Millie Bright, Fran Kirby and Chloe Kelly will all be in action, along with some of the game’s most impressive stars such as Magdalena Eriksson, Sam Kerr and Hayley Raso. Victory today would give either side confidence of mounting another title challenge, as the Blues look to continue their domestic dominance.
