Chelsea Women will welcome Arsenal Women to Kingsmeadow for a Women's Super League round 16 clash on Friday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 away win over Everton in the Women's FA Cup over the weekend. Catarina Macario's 66th-minute strike helped the Blues book a last-four clash with Manchester United.
Arsenal, meanwhile, thrashed Aston Villa 4-0 in the semifinal of the Women's League Cup. Stina Blackstenius scored a first-half hat-trick to help her team secure a clash with Chelsea in the tournament decider.
Jonas Eidevall's side will turn their focus back to the league scene where their last game came in a 1-0 home win over Tottenham. Chelsea claimed a comfortable 4-0 away victory over Leicester City.
The win left them at the summit, having garnered 37 points from 15 games, three points above third-placed Arsenal.

Chelsea Women vs Arsenal Women Prediction
Chelsea are on course for a domestic treble while they are also still in the running for glory on the continent. Their impressive start to the season has been founded on a stringent defense that has shut their opponents out in eight of their last nine games.
This might not be much of a concern for an Arsenal side that have scored at least three goals in three of their last four games. They were also victorious in the reverse fixture and are aiming to do a league double over their London rivals for the first time since 2013. A win would take the Gunners level on points with their hosts.
We are backing Chelsea to claim a comfortable win with goals to be scored at both ends.
