\n Sonia Bompastor has made two changes to her Chelsea side for our Women’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. \n <\/p>\n

The Blues need to overturn a 3-1 deficit from the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, which saw Lauren James<\/a> score our only goal of the evening.<\/p>\n

We bounced back from that disappointment with an exciting 4-3 win over Aston Villa at Kingsmeadow in the Women’s Super League on Sunday, and Bompastor has made two alterations from the side that earned that hard-fought victory. <\/p>\n

Kadeisha Buchanan<\/a> comes into the starting XI in place of Naomi Girma<\/a>, while Erin Cuthbert<\/a> is given the nod and the captain’s armband for the evening as Wieke Kaptein<\/a> is named on the bench.<\/p>\n

Striker Sam Kerr<\/a> retains her place in the side, fresh from her appearance in the Asian Cup final and her goal against Villa at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Chelsea: Hampton, Carpenter, Buurman, Nusken, Cuthbert (c), James, Thompson, Kerr, Bronze, Buchanan, Walsh<\/p>\n

Chelsea Substitutes: Peng, Spencer, Sarwie, Girma, Baltimore, Kaptein, Charles, Potter<\/p>\n
