Chelsea Women face UCL opener and Arsenal derby

Chelsea Women open their UEFA Women's Champions League campaign against Austria Vienna at Plough Lane on Wednesday, with a Women's Super League London derby against Arsenal to follow at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

The two fixtures headline a week in which Chelsea's men's team has no scheduled matches, with several first-team players joining their national squads for the international break.

Chelsea Women host Austria Vienna at Plough Lane on Wednesday with an 8pm kick-off, beginning their Champions League league-phase campaign. Head coach Sonia Bompastor will address the media on Tuesday at 3pm ahead of the match.

Also on Wednesday, Chelsea Women's Under-18s welcome Ipswich Town to Kingsmeadow in the PGA Under-21 Women's League, with kick-off at 2pm.

On the international stage, Jorrel Hato's Netherlands host Germany and Pedro Neto's Portugal welcome Wales on Thursday evening, both at 7.45pm. On Friday, Estevao Willian's Brazil face Australia at 7am UK time, while Romeo Lavia, Mike Penders and Belgium visit Italy, and Maxence Lacroix's France travel to Turkey under new manager Zinedine Zidane — both at 7.45pm.

England, potentially featuring Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers, host Spain at Wembley on Saturday at 7.45pm in the Nations League.

The week's centrepiece for the women's side arrives on Sunday, when Chelsea Women take on Arsenal in the Women's Super League at Stamford Bridge, with kick-off at 4.30pm. The match is available live on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom.
