Ahead of Arsenal vs Chelsea, SheKicks selects our combined XI as the Women’s Super League holders travel to the home of the European champions.

The Gunners find themselves down in fifth ahead of Saturday’s meeting, five points behind leaders Chelsea.

Arsenal cannot afford to lose against a Chelsea side who are unbeaten in their last 32 WSL games.

Below, SheKicks selects an Arsenal vs Chelsea combined XI, selecting only players that are expected to be fit for Saturday’s clash – meaning no place for England captain Leah Williamson.

Arsenal vs Chelsea combined XI

There is a reason why Hannah Hampton has won the Yachine Trophy and been selected for the FIFPRO XI for 2025.

Hampton won the domestic treble with Chelsea last season before inspiring England to glory at Euro 2025.

She has started the season off strongly, keeping four clean sheets in the WSL with a league-high save percentage of 86.4 per cent.

Hampton will have to keep her mind away from off-pitch drama, following the fallout from Mary Earps’ comments about the England No.1 in hew new autobiography.
