Chelsea return to Women’s Champions League action with Emma Hayes’s side welcoming Hacken to London.

The Swedish club are top of Group D with two wins from their first two games as they look to bounce back from narrowly missing out on the 2023 Damallsvenskan title.

Chelsea have also made a solid start in continental competition, following a draw at Real Madrid with a win over Paris FC.

But a first defeat of the WSL season to Arsenal was a set-back with the club hoping to give the departing Hayes the perfect sign-off to her trophy-laden time at the club.
