Chelsea have one foot in the Women’s Champions League semi-finals already and must go on to finish the job on Wednesday evening when they host Ajax at Stamford Bridge.

A thumping 3-0 victory in the first leg last week came courtesy of a brace from Sjoeke Nusken after Lauren James’ opener and the Blues could really have scored more – but all the same they remain firmly on course to challenge for a first European triumph before manager Emma Hayes’ summer departure.

The Blues are fighting for honours on all fronts as they lead the Women’s Super League table, albeit only on goal difference ahead of huge WSL rivals Manchester City with five matches left to play.

It certainly looks as though it’ll be Chelsea progressing from this quarter-final tie, but with Barcelona likely awaiting them in the semi-finals, Hayes will want to ensure this game shows all of her team’s potential to build confidence and momentum.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the last-eight second leg, while you can see the latest match odds and tips here.
