The Chelsea vs Man City live stream is a huge match that could go a long way to deciding who lifts the WSL title. You can watch it wherever you are, potentially for free, with a VPN.

These two sides have shown why they are title contenders, both making excellent, unbeaten, starts to the season. The Blues beat Liverpool 0-3 last time out, with the visitors thumping Tottenham 4-0 in their last league match. The Cityzens go into today's game on top of the table as they have played one game more.

There remain some notable absentees for both teams. Vivianne Miedema has had to undergo knee surgery once again and Sam Kerr is still recovering from an ACL injury. We should be able to look forward to goals. Bunny Shaw is in almost unstoppable form for Man City, while teammate Lauren Hemp has put in strong performances too. The hosts, meanwhile have the best goal difference in the league, having netted 23 times in six games.

Here’s how they line up:

Chelsea: Hampton, Bronze, Bright, Bjorn, Baltimore, Nusken, Cuthbert, Reiten, Hamano, Kaneryd, Ramirez

Man City: Yamashita, Greenwood, Fowler, Roord, Kennedy, Ouahabi, Park, Casparij, Fujino, Shaw, Hasegawa

Read on to find out how you can watch this game live, possibly for free. Make sure you catch all of the Women's Super League live streams in 2024/25 too.
