Chelsea to begin WSL title defence at home to Aston Villa

CHELSEA will begin their bid for a sixth straight Women’s Super League title against Aston Villa at Kingsmeadow.

The match, which will be played on the weekend of September 21 and 22, will be new manager Sonia Bompastor’s first WSL game after the former Lyon boss took over from Emma Hayes this summer.

Hayes left Chelsea after 12 years to become manager of the United States women’s national team.
