Chelsea will look to maintain their winning start to the Women’s Champions League season as they face Dutch side Twente tonight at 8pm BST.

The Blues, fresh off a victory over rivals Arsenal in the Women’s Super League, are aiming to finally lift the European trophy. They started their Champions League campaign with a 3-2 win over Real Madrid last week.

Twente, meanwhile, enters the match after a 1-1 draw in the Eredivisie and a victory over Celtic in their opening Champions League group stage match.

Despite being the underdogs, Twente coach Joran Pot is confident his team can challenge Chelsea. “We are the underdogs, it’s as simple as that, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a chance,” said Pot.

Chelsea defender Kadeisha Buchanan, who is enjoying a strong season, believes the team’s partnership with Lucy Bronze is key to their success. “We’ve both grown as players, and our partnership feels strong,” Buchanan said.

Manager Sonia Bompastor has confirmed that Catarina Macario, who is recovering from a knee irritation, will not feature in the game.

The match is set to be a fascinating encounter with both teams looking to gain an advantage in their group. Keep an eye out for team news and updates as we approach kick-off.
