Chelsea team news
Chelsea will be without long-term absentees Sam Kerr, Mia Fishel and Sophie Ingle as they continue their rehabilitation from ACL injuries. Defender Kadeisha Buchanan was the latest member of the squad to be added to that list after she tore her ACL during the league match against Liverpool earlier this month.
Lauren James is also expected to be sidelined until after the November international break. Niamh Charles underwent shoulder surgery back in September, but was back in first team training ahead of their midweek Champions League clash against Celtic.

Chelsea vs Man Utd score prediction
Its hard to see anything other than a Chelsea win in this fixture. Bompastors side are in outstanding form this season and they more than proved their title credentials with a 2-0 victory over rivals Man City last time out in the league.
Although United got back to winning ways against Leicester, their form has been somewhat inconsistent across the early weeks of the season. It will by no means be straightforward for Chelsea, and its unlikely to be another 6-0 thumping, similar to that of the last league clash between these two teams, but the London club will undoubtedly have enough to see out the win.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Man Utd
