On the back of another FA Cup triumph, the Chelsea Women turn their attention back to the league where three more wins secures the Women’s Super League title.

Last year, the Chelsea Women had finished off the Women’s Super League title a week prior to the FA Cup final. In 2023, Emma Hayes’ side has that same task but in reserve. With the FA Cup secured for the third consecutive season, the Blues now have their eyes set on collecting three straight domestic doubles. Two matches on the road sandwiched between the final contest at Kingsmeadow this season against Arsenal closes out the season for the west Londoners. With the goal differential between the Blues and Manchester United erased, Hayes’ side will mostly be focused on getting the result no matter what it takes.

A reeling West Ham United led by Paul Konchesky in east London is on tap this upcoming Wednesday night at the Chigwell Construction Stadium. The two have met twice so far this season including a 7-0 drubbing at Victoria Road in the Conti Cup semifinal where the Blues saw Fran Kirby leave the contest early. The Irons have lost five out of their last six games in the WSL including a 6-2 defeat at the Academy Stadium to Manchester City.
