Thu Oct 17 18:02:10 UTC 2024: ## Chelsea Aim for WUCL Victory Against Twente

Chelsea Women will continue their quest for a sixth consecutive Women’s Super League title and their first Women’s Champions League crown on Thursday as they travel to face FC Twente in the second match of the group stage.

The Blues have been in impressive form this season under new manager Sonia Bompastor, securing wins against Real Madrid and Arsenal in their last two outings. However, injuries have hampered their squad with key players like Sam Kerr, Sophie Ingle, and Mia Fishel still sidelined.

Chelsea will be looking to build on their strong start to the season but will face a tough test against Twente. The Dutch side, nine-time Vrouwen Eredivisie champions, are back in the WUCL following their domestic success last season. They secured their place in the group stage after overcoming three qualifying rounds and started their campaign with a 2-0 victory over Celtic.

Twente, led by manager Joran Pot, boasts a strong squad featuring attacking midfielder Kayleigh van Dooren, who scored twice against Celtic. They will look to make the most of their return to the competition and give Chelsea a tough fight.

Despite their strong start, Chelsea could be vulnerable to a setback against a motivated Twente side. However, the Blues are expected to prevail and continue their impressive form, potentially facing a few challenges along the way.
