Chelsea will host Manchester City at Stamford Bridge to open their WSL title defense.

Head coach Sonia Bompastor made an emphatic start to life in West London last season, clinching a domestic treble, and will look to repeat the feat in this campaign.

After facing City on opening day, the Blues will not meet another of last season’s top five finishers until they travel to Leigh in October to face Manchester United.

But that outing is followed by three straight London derbies. Late October and early November will see the Blues host Tottenham and the newly promoted London City Lionesses before facing Arsenal at the Emirates.

Chelsea will play at Stamford Bridge four times this season. After an opening day bout with City, London City and Arsenal will appear in SW6, before Manchester United visit for the season finale.
