"We're a team that create a lot of opportunities. We can move the ball high up the pitch so then it's down to finishing them. The players should be confident; they just need to avoid overthinking. On Peng starting after Hampton picked up an injury against Arsenal: She hasn't had a lot of minutes, but she played well in the first game against Twente and she is performing well in every training session."
"Share St Polten (4-4-1): Schluter; Krizaj, Nagy, Ebert, Klein, Ollivier; Elmore, Peneau, Laino, Gutmann; Brunold. Subs: Hermsmeier, Vracevic, Aistleitner, Rukavina, Seiro, Woelki, Matavkova. Chelsea (4-3-3): Peng; Carpenter, Bronze, Girma, Baltimore; Kaptein, Walsh, Macario; Rytting Kaneryd, Thompson, Kerr. Subs: Spencer, Bright, Buurman, Nusken, Cuthbert, James, Bjorn, Charles, Hamano, Jean-Francois, Potter. An expected weakened side for the visitors. It will be interesting to see how the midfield three of Wieke Kaptein, Keira Walsh and Catarina Macario operate. Sam Kerr gets her first start for Chelsea since"
Chelsea create many chances and play high up the pitch, making finishing and player confidence crucial. Peng will start after Hampton's injury; she lacked minutes but performed well in the first Twente game and in training and is viewed as having quality. St Polten set up as a well-organised, compact defensive unit that allows little space and presses aggressively out of possession, making it difficult to break their lines or block. Chelsea named a line-up with a midfield three of Wieke Kaptein, Keira Walsh and Catarina Macario. Sam Kerr returns to the starting XI for Chelsea.
