6 min: Gordon has got in touch and shared his snack chat:

Just saw your “shout out” about snacks – as an older person, under doctor’s orders to lose weight, I’m afraid my snack these days is baby carrots – but they are slightly sweet in taste.

Baby carrots are an amazing snack, might take that for the next game I watch.

Back to the game and the hosts are really well drilled defensively so far.

4 min: Carleer does some good early defensive work as the visitors look to strike early. Chelsea aren’t fading rom this attack though but Beever-Jones’ pass is intercepted and cleared. I am so confused about the Chelsea team, the one they announced on social channels is different to the one they have fielded and gave WCL organisers. No injury news to report.

2 min: There has been no official announcement on Chelsea’s channels at the moment, I will keep my eye out but Kaneryd is definitely on the pitch.

Kick-off: Twente 0-0 Chelsea

The players will be out on the pitch shortly before kick-off at 8pm BST. Can Chelsea keep their winning momentum going? Or can Twente cause an upset? All to come.

I’d love to hear from you and I particularly love a bit of snack chat. Let me know what you are treating yourself to while watching the game. For me tonight it’s salted popcorn. You can get in touch via email or X (@rendellx).

An interesting watch:

Twente coach Joran Pot said before the game: “We are the underdogs, it’s as simple as that, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a chance. We’re excited to have an opponent of this calibre – it shows that we’re making great strides. If we play to our potential, we can make it difficult for Chelsea. It’s about executing the small things we’ve discussed well.”

Chelsea defender Kadeisha Buchanan said: “The past few seasons have been challenging, but I’m improving on and off the pitch. This might be my best season yet, but I know there’s more to come. It’s great to have [former Lyon team-mate] Lucy [Bronze] back [in England]. We’ve both grown as players, and our partnership feels strong. Communication has been key as we adapt to the new coach and style.”

Catarina Macario will not be a part of Chelsea’s squad in today’s match as she continues to build fitness. Macario suffered a knee irritation in the summer. Manager Sonia Bompastor said: “We are building some minutes and building her fitness. That’s part of the plan and part of her own process. We work a lot individually with every player and we try to give them what they need to be fit and back to the best level, or their best version. We just felt it was the good decision to have her stay in London, working individually with some staff, and she will be ready for the game on Sunday.”

Two other English clubs were in action in the Women’s Champions League last night and they both came away with wins. Arsenal beat Vålerenga 4-1, while Manchester City escaped a scare in their 3-2 win over St Polten. You can read both reports:
