The full picture

Chelsea Women are set to face Crystal Palace in a London derby on Sunday, October 25, 2026, at Gander Green Lane, Sutton, with the match scheduled for 12:00 GMT. The match will be broadcast on Sky Sports in the UK and CBS Sports Golazo in the US. Chelsea is looking to extend their five-match winning streak in the Women’s Super League.

Crystal Palace, under Jo Potter, have struggled in the WSL, standing 11th with six points from six matches, their only win coming against Everton. They have made significant signings, including Bethany England and Molly Bartrip, but face injuries and absences, notably Swedish midfielder My Cato with an ACL injury and Justine Vanhaevermaet on maternity leave.

Chelsea, led by Sonia Bompastor, comes off a 6-2 win against Tottenham, with a strong attacking performance. They have a largely healthy squad, with the exception of Naomi Girma, who remains unavailable due to a calf injury. Captain Erin Cuthbert is building up her fitness after a recent appearance, and new signing Manaka Matsukubo could make her debut.

Source context

Another weekend, another London derby for Chelsea Women. This time we’re heading to Sutton to face newly-promoted Crystal Palace, hoping to extend our five-match winning streak in the Women’s Super League. Crystal Palace team news: Jo Potter’s side have struggled to find their footing since returning to the WSL, sitting 11th with just six points from their opening six matches. Their only league victory came against Everton on the opening weekend, although they did manage an impressive goalless draw against Arsenal. More recently, the Eagles suffered a 1-0 defeat to West Ham before losing 3-2 to Southampton in the Women’s League Cup on Wednesday.
