WSL Preview: Chelsea Women vs. Everton Women

Chelsea Women will look to continue their strong form as they take on Everton at Kingsmeadow this Sunday in the Women’s Super League.

After securing a 4-1 victory over the Toffees in the FA Cup last weekend, the Blues will be determined to claim another three points and maintain their title charge at the top of the WSL table.

With Sonia Bompastor’s side in superb form, Everton face a difficult task in trying to contain Chelsea’s attacking firepower. However, the visitors will be eager to respond after last weekend’s heavy defeat and will look to cause an upset.

Here is your  Chelsea Women vs. Everton Women WSL Preview.

WSL Preview: Chelsea Women vs. Everton Women

Current Form: Chelsea Women

Chelsea have been dominant across all competitions in recent weeks, demonstrating their defensive resilience and attacking firepower. They are currently on a five-game winning streak, keeping three clean sheets in that run while scoring 13 goals.

Their most recent victory came in the FA Cup fifth round, where they comfortably dispatched Everton 4-1 at Kingsmeadow. Despite falling behind early, Chelsea responded emphatically, with goals from Catarina Macario, Mayra Ramírez, Maika Hamano, and Sandy Baltimore sealing their place in the quarter-finals.

In the Women’s League Cup, Chelsea also booked a spot in the final with a 2-0 win over West Ham, once again displaying their ability to control games and break down opposition defenses. Prior to that, a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa in the league and a hard-fought 1-0 triumph over Arsenal further solidified their status as one of the strongest teams in England.

Chelsea’s last five results:

  • 4-1 vs. Everton (FA Cup – February 9)
  • 2-0 vs. West Ham (League Cup Semi-Final – February 5)
  • 1-0 vs. Aston Villa (WSL – February 2)
  • 1-0 vs. Arsenal (WSL – January 26)
  • 5-0 vs. Durham (League Cup Quarter-Final – January 21)

With momentum on their side and an unbeaten run stretching back to early January, Chelsea will enter this game as firm favorites.

Everton Women

Everton’s recent form has been inconsistent, with positive results in cup competitions but struggles in the WSL. They have shown attacking promise, scoring four goals in two of their last three matches, but defensive lapses have been a major concern.

Last weekend’s 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup exposed Everton’s vulnerabilities against elite opposition. Despite an early goal, they were unable to contain Chelsea’s relentless attack. Before that, they secured an impressive 4-1 league victory over Leicester City, showing their ability to score goals when given space.

In the FA Cup fourth round, Everton advanced with a 2-0 win over Tottenham, but their WSL campaign has been inconsistent. A 2-0 defeat to West Ham in late January and a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa highlighted their struggles in the league.

Everton’s last five results:

  • 1-4 vs. Chelsea (FA Cup – February 9)
  • 4-1 vs. Leicester City (WSL – February 2)
  • 2-0 vs. Tottenham (FA Cup – January 29)
  • 0-2 vs. West Ham (WSL – January 26)
  • 1-1 vs. Aston Villa (WSL – January 18)

If Everton are to get a result at Kingsmeadow, they will need a disciplined defensive performance while capitalizing on any attacking opportunities that come their way.

Prediction

Chelsea’s quality and form make them overwhelming favorites for this fixture. Having already beaten Everton convincingly in the FA Cup, another dominant performance is expected.

Everton will need a near-perfect defensive display to take anything from the game, but Chelsea’s attacking depth should see them through comfortably.

Predicted score: Chelsea 3-0 Everton.
