Thu Oct 17 20:43:05 UTC 2024: ## Chelsea Women Set to Cruise Past FC Twente in Champions League

**LONDON** – Chelsea Women are poised for an easy victory against FC Twente in their Champions League group stage clash, with their predicted lineup showcasing a formidable squad that’s already shown its dominance this season.

Despite the absence of key players like Sam Kerr, Sophie Ingle, and Niamh Charles due to injury, Chelsea have a strong starting eleven led by manager Sonia Bompastor, who has maintained a winning streak since arriving from Lyon.

In goal, Hannah Hampton is expected to start, with a backline consisting of Sandy Baltimore at left-back, Kadeisha Buchanan and Millie Bright in the center, and Lucy Bronze on the right. The midfield trio will likely be Sjoeke Nusken, Wieke Kaptein, and the versatile Lauren James, who operates as a free-flowing attacker. The front line will see a mix of Guro Reiten, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, and Mayra Ramirez.

The Blues’ attacking style, featuring attacking full-backs and James’s dynamic movement, has already seen them dismantle opponents like Arsenal and Feyenoord. This fluidity and tactical prowess make them a dangerous force, and Twente is unlikely to pose a significant threat.

With Real Madrid already conquered, Chelsea are expected to sail through the rest of the group stage, potentially securing a comfortable spot in the knockout rounds.
