Cuthbert Leads Chelsea Game Today Lineup Against Manchester United

Chelsea game today means a final look at the starting XIs, and Chelsea Women named Cuthbert as captain for their Women’s Super League match against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, May 24, 2024. The game is Chelsea’s last of the season, with a chance to finish after a campaign in which one trophy came through but other targets slipped away.

Stamford Bridge Startlists

Chelsea began with Hampton in goal, then Carpenter, Buchanan, Buurman, Charles, Walsh, Cuthbert, Nüsken, Thompson, Kerr, and James across the rest of the XI. Cuthbert wore the captain’s armband from the start, a clear sign of how Chelsea set up the closing match at SW6.

Manchester United answered with Tillis-Joyce in goal and a side built around Sandberg, George, Le Tissier, Toone, Malard, Rolfo, Riviere, Zigiotti, Wangerheim, and Hinata. The referee was Mel Burgin, and the match was scheduled for 13.00 BST, or 8am EDT for viewers in the USA.

Chelsea’s Season Finish

The lineup carried more weight because Chelsea were closing a season that brought the Women’s League Cup trophy but not the full set of goals they usually demand. That left this match as the final chance to put a cleaner ending on the record before the summer break.

Chelsea’s bench included Peng, Spencer, Baltimore, Sarwie, Kaptein, Potter, Kaneryd, Ramirez, and Beever-Jones, giving the hosts options if the match needed a second-half change. Manchester United listed Rendell, Jansen, Lundkvist, Turner, Awujo, Park, Naalsund, Schuller, and Terland among their substitutes.

Sky Go, +, fuboTV

The match was not shown on TV in the UK or the USA, so the live options were Sky Go in the UK and + and fuboTV in the USA. For supporters tracking the final day, that meant the lineups were the main immediate clue to how both teams intended to approach the season’s last whistle.
