The form
Chelsea’s FA Cup campaign began in the fourth round when we defeated Championship side Charlton Athletic in our first match following the winter break.
Mayra Ramirez set us on our way to a 4-0 win at Kingsmeadow just before the end of the first half and Guro Reiten soon doubled our advantage. There were two more goals after the interval with Aggie Beever-Jones netting on her 50th appearance for the Blues, before Niamh Charles rounded off the scoring.
Bompastor’s side are unbeaten across all four competitions this season, with that impressive run now standing at 22 matches.
Everton saw off Tottenham Hotspur in the fourth round of the cup, beating the London club 2-0 at home. Kelly Gago and Heather Payne scored for the Merseyside team.
Recent head-to-head
The two sides have met once already this season in the league, with Bompastor’s side prevailing with an emphatic 5-0 win at Goodison Park in November.
Beever-Jones opened the scoring against her former loan club, before Erin Cuthbert, Reiten, Wieke Kaptein and Ashley Lawrence also got themselves on the scoresheet.
There will also be a reunion with former Chelsea defender Maren Mjelde, who could return to Kingsmeadow to feature against her old side after signing for the Merseyside club last week.
