Chelsea vs Arsenal Predicted XI: Big decisions need to be made on three key players

Chelsea Women face London rivals Arsenal in a Women's Super League clash on Sunday afternoon. Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor heads into the fixture without several key players due to injuries, with a potential victory offering the chance to move five points clear of Arsenal in the league standings.

The predicted lineup highlights notable defensive adjustments, including goalkeeper Hannah Hampton returning over Livia Peng. Defensively, Lucy Bronze is projected to cover center-back while Naomi Girma returns via the bench, alongside starts for Kadeisha Buchanan and Katie McCabe facing her former club.
