Chelsea Women – What’s Happening Right Now?
If you follow English women’s football, you’ve probably heard the name Chelsea Women a lot lately. They’re a top side in the FA Women’s Super League (FA WSL) and keep piling on wins, new signings and buzz. This page gives you the basics you need – the latest squad news, the games coming up and a few tips on how to watch them.
Current Squad and Key Players
At the heart of Chelsea’s success are a blend of experienced internationals and hungry youngsters. Goalkeeper Erin Cuthbert still looks solid between the sticks, making big saves and commanding the box. In defence, Guro Reiten and Millie Bright bring strength and calm, while the full‑back Erin Bailey pushes forward with energy.
Up front, the team relies heavily on Sam Murray and Karen Carney. Murray’s knack for finding space in the box means she’s often the one to finish the chances created by Carney’s precise passing. The midfield engine is Dinah Jane, who can break up play and start attacks with a simple pass. Watch for the young talent Olivia Gould – she’s been scoring a few surprise goals and could become a regular starter.
Transfers have kept the squad fresh. The most recent signing, Danish winger Camilla Larsen, adds pace on the wings and already has a couple of assists. Coach Emma Hayes says the new players will give the team more options when the schedule gets tight.
Upcoming Fixtures and How to Watch
Next up, Chelsea Women face Arsenal Women at the Kingsmeadow on Saturday, 14 October. It’s a classic rivalry that always draws a crowd, and both teams are fighting for a top‑four spot. Kick‑off is at 3 pm GMT, and you can stream the match live on the FA WSL YouTube channel or catch it on BBC Sport if you have a TV licence.
