Chelsea can secure their place in the quarter-finals of the Women’s Champions League with a win over Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

Emma Hayes’s side have won successive games since their return from the winter break, with a Lauren James hat-trick completing a comprehensive 3-1 victory over Manchester United at the weekend.

After impressive triumphs against Hacken and Paris FC, Chelsea will be eyeing up their third win of the campaign against bottom-of-the-table Real Madrid who they drew 2-2 against in the group-stage opener back in November.

Madrid are yet to claim three points in a game in this season’s Champions League and must upset the odds in London and see other results go their way if they are to keep alive their slim hopes of reaching the quarter-finals.
