Chelsea FC Women looking to solidify Super League Women second place
Everton Women, currently sat eighth in the Super League Women 2025/2026 table with 20 points from 19 games, will seek to build on their shock 1-0 victory away to Chelsea FC Women, who sit second with 40 points, four months ago in the Super League Women 2024/2025. Scott Phelan has been at the helm since February 2026 and has focused on introducing some attacking intent and identity to a team which has struggled to make an impression for the last few years.
However, they’ve also simplified the game in recent months and seem to be trying to gel more as a unit defensively. Everton Women are a side built on vertical transitions and high-intensity pressing, but under Phelan, they have seemingly played with more patience and structure - it seems to have worked, but they’ve won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 matches and come into this off the back of back-to-back defeats.
Chelsea FC Women are a club with an established identity, but manager Sonia Bompastor has made subtle tweaks to their possession-based playing style this season. Chelsea play with central triangles and overlapping full-backs to dictate the tempo of games and overload central areas to create scoring opportunities.
Chelsea FC Women have the quality to outdo Everton Women
Tactical contrast
This is a contrast of styles which could lead to a fairly open match, with Chelsea’s patient possession play against Everton Women’s high-intensity, vertical style. The home side can be dangerous when their pressing comes together, but Chelsea FC Women are more than capable of handling that.
Attack and key players
Alyssa Thompson is a clear focal point for Chelsea FC Women, she leads the line with 7 goals in 17 Super League Women appearances, and there are numerous other talented attacking players to complement the youngster. They should have far too much to break through Everton’s defense and will be able to take advantage of the spaces left behind by the attacking players of the home team.
Everton Women have averaged 1.00 goals scored and 2.00 goals conceded per home game in the Super League Women 2025/2026. Honoka Hayashi has been their main outlet going forward, but with just 4 goals in 16 appearances, they’ve lacked bite.
Chelsea FC Women can get the win
Chelsea FC Women have been solid away from home this season, conceding just 10 goals in 9 away league games. That should be enough to see off an Everton Women side that has struggled to get going in front of goal.
Backing Chelsea FC Women to win looks a good choice for the Sunday afternoon match in Merseyside as the odds on offer are rather favourable. However, we also expect Everton Women to score in an open game, so over 2.5 goals looks likely. Chelsea FC Women to win and over 2.5 goals will be the main selection for this game, with Chelsea FC Women to win as the primary option in the 2-way match outcome market.
