Liverpool’s Struggles – Can They Find Momentum?
Liverpool are having a very difficult season. They remain one of two teams yet to win a WSL match – the other being West Ham.
Even more outstandingly, the Reds have scored only four goals so far, and conceded 13, putting real pressure on their attack and defence to deliver.
On the positive side, their sole point came in their last game, thanks to a goal from Beata Olsson against Brighton.
But against the reigning champions in the Liverpool Women vs Chelsea Women clash, they will need more than scraps – Liverpool must be sharp, clinical, and organised to challenge the Blues.
Chelsea’s Strength – And Defensive Depth Issues
Chelsea come into this match with better form, enjoying a 33-game unbeaten streak.
However, they are not without injury concerns. Chelsea are missing key players, including Kadeisha Buchanan, Brooke Aspin, and Mayra Ramirez. Aggie Beever-Jones is a doubt, having missed the two previous games due to injury.
Their defensive depth has been tested, which could offer Liverpool a chance if they can exploit gaps.
At the same time, Chelsea’s quality in attack remains a serious threat. Even with some absences, they possess the talent to dominate a struggling Liverpool side. Balancing their defensive issues with their attacking ambitions will be crucial in the Liverpool Women vs Chelsea Women WSL game.
