Chelsea return to domestic duty on Wednesday evening by hosting Liverpool’s re-arranged Women’s Super League clash from January's abandonment.
It is the Blues’ first league tie in a month. In early April they travelled to Aston Villa for a 3-0 win away from home. Since then they have booked their place in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup final to face Manchester United and fought Barcelona tooth-and-nail in the Champions League semi-finals in a two-legged affair that saw them lose 2-1 on aggregate at the Nou Camp just last week.
But, still, in contention for the double, Chelsea welcome Liverpool back to Kingsmeadow after the initial tie was abandoned due to a frozen pitch minutes after kick-off. It was a chaotic morning but ended with fan amusement when boss Emma Hayes promised free hotdogs to the returning, loyal fans, a promise she has kept.
